Neat! I had a mantis invade my house in Georgia. I say invade because he chased me all around inside my own house LOL. I'm not sure if you can handle them- do they bite?
Well like all critters with mouths they have the potential to bite, but out of all the ones I handled, including several wild caught adults I've never once been bitten or even had a mantis try to bite or lash out at me. That is one of the things that originally drew me into them. I still find it amazing how such a primitive and instinct based insect can be so confident and even drawn to human interaction.
@ Rwbeagles- I think it is just about time for someone to look into getting another six legged companion!
