[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 313812, member: 1492"] [USER=10568]@DefyTheNorms[/USER] No you were being gentle. You could have gotten her off almost instantly if you had been so inclined, but she might have been injured or killed in the process. A lot of people in your situation would have panicked and injured the mantis, but you took additional bites because you wanted to do whatever you could to remove her while still being as gentle as possible. That sort of consideration tells me you are the sort of person that can recover from this and rediscover your love for the species, because you never truly lost it. Things are fresh right now. Take some time, let the sting in your finger fade before you decide you can no longer enjoy these delightful little creatures. You have experienced the worst the mantis can do and both the mantis and you walked away from it. [/QUOTE]
