[QUOTE="bobericc, post: 267925, member: 4632"] For me it depends on the actual species and the handler, most mantids like to be waved at with wiggling fingers. I've had mantis that seem to get excited by the interaction, like rhombodera and hierodula.. then I've had mantis that don't like interaction like blue flash and sybilla. You can tell if a mantis is skittish and doesn't want to be held and you can tell a mantis who's face is smooshed up against the plastic is curious to go on a further excursion. Same thing applies to smaller sp, its just harder handling because of the size of the mantis so its easier to injure them. Jmho [/QUOTE]
