Praying Mantises are wonderful insects. We have had pet ones for nearly a year since we found one on our front door.

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

In my area, the east coast of the US, I would say that Mantises here tolerate Humans. If I see one, I'll just walk up to it and pick it up. 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.

@@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 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.

They could easily surprise a sleeping man, piercing into an eye and scrunching into the pupil -------- you will say that the man would instantly wake up to an attack on an eyeball, and just as quickly crush the mantis with human hand strength, but I meant that with the instantaneous speed you see in the video, the mantis by surprise pierces the eyeball by breaking through the eyelid and cornea with the thorny rostrum of the paw, and following the immediate reaction of the man, now hopelessly blind in one eye, the arm of the mantis is extracted by force from the eye, dragging behind most of the vitreous body, the iris and the retina, frayed and attached to the spines, so that the mantis, even if thrown aside by the monocle man, can sever the torn head of the fibrous optic nerve and quietly feed on the fresh human ocular organic matter
