[QUOTE="Mantid-Tim, post: 341147, member: 11944"] So one of my mantids, a Rhombodera extensicollis adult use to be the sweetest of all my mantids. Very willing to be handled and would walk out onto my hand. Recently, she started latching on and then biting. As luck would have it she is also my biggest mantid so her bites actually hurt! Mostly, I'm scared to hurt her while getting her off of me. So I have decided not to handle her for the time being. Does anyone have any insight on this? Once she molted to adulthood her behavior really changed. (Her wings came out misshapen but no health issues of any kind. So yeah, any opinions would be greatly appreciated! [/QUOTE]
