Description
Story time: My now-adult son has always been fascinated by bugs and insects. He's been known to pick up insects that he knows nothing about (not the thing a mother wants to hear). I, however, have a very limited number of insects I consider touchable despite growing in appreciation and ease around most insects these days. My son was with me the day I saw this praying mantis, and of course, he offered it his hand, and after a bit of hesitancy, the mantis climbed aboard. I finally worked up the nerve and offered my hand, and he made the switch to my hand...first time holding a mantis! Of course, as it quickly made it's way up my arm, I freaked out a bit, and had my son take it back. If you've ever watched the stealth with which one of these guys catches and eats prey, maybe you can understand why I didn't want it near my face.
