They're so small that it's hard to really get any kind of footage of them. The contrast of them against my computer screen was about the best I could do. The first video is Mr. Chang Foo going for Rick's signature, the other is Earl sitting on my finger, eating a fruit fly. Please please please...

That's awful, idahomantid. I'm sorry to hear that. I know mantids aren't exactly cuddly as a cat or dog, but something about them seems almost wise. Perhaps the benefit is in fact mutual. You never know, caring for mantids could pass some good karma your way.
