    Praying Mantises are wonderful insects. We have had pet ones for nearly a year since we found one on our front door. They are extremely curious, not scared of humans, and pretty much harmless (one of them did try to attack me when I hadn't fed it enough but it was more cute than anything else) so much that my wife and daughters really are happy to have them wander around on their hands and arms.

    I caught a giant, green preying mantis when I worked night shift at a gas station when I was younger, so I can tell you for an absolute fact that they are vicious killers that I am thankful do not get much bigger. I kept it in a terrarium for over a year. I fed it all kinds of interesting prey. They will always attempt to kill and eat anything. Very cool, yet frightening pet.

    When I was in grade 4, I found a preying mantis on an extremely windy day on the playground of the community center. I didn't feel it belonged in the playground and gently got it to crawl on my bare hand. I used my free hand to block the wind as best I could and it held onto my finger with it's claws. I got it safely to a field of long grass and let it go. Never even tried to hurt me. Will never forget that encounter.

      I've done the same they are pretty gentle but it probably has something to do with the fact that insects don't see our whole body it probably precieved you as a big stick or platform to crawl on which is why you can have spiders crawl on your hand and just keep looping your hands over and over again

      I don't think it broke it's neck. Their arms are equipped to hold them down while their prey can pretty much do nothing. Imagine getting caught in a full nelson hold almost anyone can do it and it's very hard to get out of in most cases. Now imagine yourself getting the back of your neck getting bit by someone while you're in that head lock. It got caught again in another angle that left it's neck exposed and since it's Jugular vein is right there...well you can figure out the rest.

      @@luciatat4084 lol they won't hurt us humans XD they can only give u a paper cut if they bite u if anything if u ever wanna touch a carnivorous bug I suggest a mantis they won't do much DMG to you if they bite u. And they have a super low chance of biting you and the most they will do and use their arms to grab your finger. The apexes of all apex bugs is the giant centipede that thing can be as long as a adult male leg this is why tarantulas and any other bug won't attack it. All bugs will retreat at the sight or any sense of presence of a giant centipede hunting. And the apex bug of the sky is the dragonfly their rival would be giant hornet but they eat most things in the air for their super fast. In fact the thing centipedes and dragonflies have super speed which gives them advantage over most prey. The praying mantis can eat a centipede if it attack c ks the right side of a centipede for if a mantis mistakens the other end of the centipede as the head it will lose. But another difference of how dangerous centipedes and tarantulas are they can have venom that can kill you. Which is why I recommend things like the mantis their very nice to us but a big threat to everything else.

I've never had one bite, get defensive, or make themselves look big to scare me away. I can just put one on my shoulder and it'll just chill there. So, although not afraid or at least showing "fear", they seem to just tolerate Human behavior if we engauge. I'm sure they are at least smart enough to know that neither of us prey on each other.

I didn't feel it belonged in the playground and gently got it to crawl on my bare hand. I used my free hand to block the wind as best I could and it held onto my finger with it's claws. I got it safely to a field of long grass and let it go. Never even tried to hurt me. Will never forget that encounter.
