[QUOTE="steeve, post: 307552, member: 10273"] I typically just put my hand in front of their face and/or gently push it against their front feet (it's pretty cute when they snap their heads down and wiggle their antenna at my hand like "Huh?!!"). I only nudge my more tame mantises to prompt them to walk, the other guys tend to freak out when someone touches their abdomen. Another good tactic is shining a bright flashlight/phone light in front of them, they tend to want to walk to the light to get to it. Or just lift what they're sitting on towards your hand and they'll want to get onto the higher surface. [/QUOTE]
