[Asa]

Ever tried putting a leash on them?

Don't.

 

[arizona_mantis]

[Asa]

People in China do it, why not us?

Answer: eww...

 

[arizona_mantis]

really didnt know that. i would like to see a picture of that, but i dont see the point of putting one on. though it would look funny.

 

[Asa]

They don't do it anymore, but they used to. Hoping to use the 'Praying' mantids abilities, to pray, they would chain them to their bedside with a leash to keep demons away :lol: .

 

[arizona_mantis]

Ha Ha that is funny and a little wierd. :lol:

 

[Asa]

Yeah, like how they used to bind their feet :lol: .

Actually, that's just gross.
