This is pretty cool

my mantis actually drinks from my hand. lol its wierd. i just notice when its crawling on my hand it like bends its head down and touches my palm. so i sprayed some water in my palm and it went to it and drank it. pretty cool, didnt know they would do that

That means your mantis is not getting enough water. If they sense the water in your skin that is a sure sign of dehydration. Mist your mantis more often.

You will likely see that behavior stop now.

I find with Pseudocreobotra, they alays drink from my hand...and still chew around the skin on my hand when there is no water on there.
