[QUOTE="Teamonger, post: 313814, member: 9511"] That is crazy. I have had a few of my Chinese mantises grab hold of my fingers and attempt to nom them but never anything this traumatizing. In my case the raptorials hurt way more then the attempted biting as they have crazy sharp pin like spikes. I had one female who lost all her tarsi and would cling with her raptorials any time I took her out. I learned quickly to use a thin stick or wooden bbq siskabob stick, slide it in the space at the joint of the raptorial, then use that to carefully lever her off whilst grimacing. [/QUOTE]
