I base this off my experience with tarantulas. Now some species are going to be aggressive no matter what like the Haplopelma lividum or the Baboon species. Some other species will tolerate being held though. You can tell that a tarantula that was held often when it was young is less skittish or even scared when it’s pulled out of its home. It’s still hard to say because insects are insects and they live off instinct. Once in a while one will just bite just because of a feeder response, same with snakes and other reptiles. I can’t really say mantids are the same though because all I have is babies so far.  :shock:</p></blockquote><p></p>
