Got smacked by mantis!

I knew the little sob was near where I was attaching a new torch, and I'll be danged if he didn;t pop out and give my thumb a good thwack! Obnoxious little bugger.

RIP it was nice knowing you

 

[Fish Fan]

Did he get you good?

I had a little N. wennerae give me a glancing blow once, it just startled me, but I wouldn't want to get whacked full on lol!

My peacock would just come sit on my arm and gently tap me. Just a curious critter.

My smithii was a little *** though! Sneak up and just let you have it!!

Yes, this, and something I never want to experience lol!

I saw one at the LFS the other day that was easily 8 inches long. A real bruiser like that could hurt you pretty good.

startled the hell out of me, but nothing horrible.... Definitely could have been worse.
