Accident :(

[Jessie]

I accidently squirted my mantis with water when squirting the cage. Didnt mean to he fell and i didnt see him will he be ok?

I'm sure he'll be fine, as long as you don't knock him down while he's molting you should be ok.

He attacked my finger for the first time.

Give me an unexpected cold shower that knocks me about, try to pick me up after with no time to calm down, I will do more than just attack your finger!  [removing tongue from cheek now]

I would imagine -in the wild- that mantis loose grip and fall now and then. Being light weight not much damage is done, most of the time.

The only 2 times I have been attacked were my fault. So now I really try to remember to move slowly and deliberately around my mantis area. That slowing up prevents a lot of mishaps for me.

He should be fine. He might not have even fallen but jumped down because the water caught him off guard. Smaller nymphs can be swept away by droplets but the larger ones tend to just flick their claws in disgust as they shake off the excess.
