no chit? :shock: I figure they WILL if pissed off and whatnots (what animal won't?). But without provoking them they won't bite, will they ??

I've never seen or heard of it.

I told you these things were dangerous

dont kill them they are the coolest bug in the world. i seen big ones **** up snakes, mice etc. they are definitally less creepy than spiders and do the same job. they are a big help in gardens too. they keep bugs away.

they will not bite you if you are near it. i used to handle these things all the time and never got bit. i never ****ed with them by ripping their legs off though. but if they do bite it cant be much. and they cant poison you or anything.

It's a hummingbird, all you have to do is google humming bird + praying mantis and there'll be plenty of results

Na...that's a shark bite wound...Mantis' aren't crazy deadly or anything, but they will bite if you mess with them and also their legs are sharp/spiny so that adds to the " oh, shiit,'' feeling.

i would keep them away from your eyes just for precautions.
