Has anyone else seen a mantis get its arms caught on its head?

[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 307947, member: 1492"] Never seen that in nymphs but I have seen it in old mantis as they are in the process of passing. They will sometimes grab their head rather violently or their antennae. I've always assumed it was them loosing control of different functions as their bodies shut down. I've had more than a couple mantises catch their own legs when snagging food, but they always seem very alert to this and once they get the prey in a better position they always release their leg without damaging it.
