no chit? 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.

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.
