[QUOTE="River Dane, post: 330717, member: 10104"] I’ve heard of large species drawing blood before. Most of the time people say it’s because they mistook their finger for food and tried to eat it. I’ve also seen a mantis open it’s mandibles when I had to pick it up by the thorax to move him. Another thing to note is sometimes a mantis will nibble at your finger because it’s thirsty. Sometimes they try to drink your sweat, and this behavior can easily be confused with aggressiveness. The first time a mantis tried to drink off of my hand, I had a mini heart attack, and it was just a wee nymph! [/QUOTE]
