what about when they grab you?

It's a pinch. The tip if the arm is needle sharp and can easily draw blood.

thought as uch. do mantids seldom pinch?

I would say it's very rare, I've never had it happen to me, though once a Budwing female started doing that 'nibbling' thing on my hand they do which usually tickles and it hurt a bit.

ive had the nibbling but where i have tough skin i couldnt really feel it. but ive been attacked and pinched...blasted african female. but i spose its my fault really. all part of the over coming of fear process
