[QUOTE="Rib, post: 11039, member: 307"] Hi, I was wondering how many of you out there have had this same experience as me. I always have 3 or 4 Mantids at a time, so I get quite attached to them and let them out the tanks a fair amount. Needless to say they're all very used to human contact. One Mantis I have who was especially friendly before has developed an annoying habit. Shes an adult female Budwing Mantis. Before she was very tame and she still is, but she sort of bites. Not in the sense that she lunges or goes for you, just occasionally whilst sitting on your hand she'll lean down and start nibbling. It hurts. I havn't had this happen before, is this fairly common? Like i said she doesnt attack or lunge for me, its just one minute shes happily walking or sitting on me, and then the next she decides to lean down and take a nibble! [/QUOTE]
