Umm, once my old D.lobata adult female was eating a cricket, so i thought it would be a laugh to put my finger next to it so she grabbed my finger lol

biting/striking is really nothing to worry about. Sure it hurts a little, but not that nad, and it happens fairly rarely. As long as your nice to them i doubt they will attack you.

ive been bitten by a Chinese nymph, didnt hurt, it just pulled my skin up and it went white, was a weird feeling, aggressive little beasty it was haha

i think if you just keep calm when holding the mantis, then the mantis will be calm with you. kinda like horses, if you are scared, theyl pick up on it and will get nervous too :mellow:
