[QUOTE="River Dane, post: 313795, member: 10104"] That sounds horrifying. But it’s like a dog. It’s scary when they bite, but you can’t let that ruin your passion. If you’re too scared, now, I suggest using gardening gloves covered with dirt. After tasting that, I doubt she’ll bite your hand again. I also read stretching your hand so the skin is flat reduces its “pinch-ability.” This was about hermit crabs, but it might work for mantises, too. another thing you might want to consider is your behavior. Did you treat her any differently? Did you entice her to bite? Did you have sweat, honey, or water on your finger? [/QUOTE]
