Has anyone been bitten by their mantis?

Ouch! (Do you mind if I ask how you know what two tiny beetles digging through your skin feels like?)

Autocorrect strikes again! Tiny needles, not beetles! But I WAS bitten by a lucanus placidus male...his mandibles sunk into my skin and literally locked underneath it so I had this beetles that was stuck on my finger for a few minutes...the only way to get him off was to spray him with water and put a stick underneath him so he’d bite that instead.

Oh yeah, the Mantis was fine. All my kids know that they should just stay still and not make some crazy violent act when regarding the mantids. My kid however, will not come near a mantis past L5. lol

My wife's oldest daughter backs away, shoulders hunched, the minute I crack open a 32oz.

She's almost 25!

Lol and a mantis isn't harmful for humans. It is not a wasp

Reading this stuff really freaks me out from holding any of my mantids. Lol. My venosa struck at me, and I haven't held her since!

I had an adult male T. sinensis bite me once. I was sitting with it on my hand, and it just started nibbling.

I open cups in a mesh cube if I need to and there are flies in the cups. So I decided to throw my trash disposal in the cube (my venosa). When she was done with the flies, I went to retrieve her and she beat me the snot outta me the whole time getting out!
