[QUOTE="AFK, post: 16840, member: 495"] good stuff, guys. good points on both sides. i haven't had a mantis for a long time, but want to get back into it (main issue is scaring away my girlfriends lol), but some points to consider: 1. if the mantis just starts eating at whatever positions is most convenient (randomly), how does it consistently avoid getting stung by bees and wasps? or how does it consistently avoid getting bitten by spiders? 2. if the mantis does deliberately start eating at a specific location, how does it know where? e.g. the head, the fangs, the stinger, etc. [/QUOTE]
