RE: Insect Photography: my first encounter with the praying mantis

This is giving me anxiety. Your sister is actually holding a mantis in her hand. I could never. How does it feel? Did it tickle on her hand or did it bite?
We call a mantis tiddi in our native language. It's the mantis who makes the chirping sound in the night, right? Did you know the sounds made by this insect is actually an indication of a safe surrounding. They only stop making these sounds if they feel some danger around them
Hehe, I don´t know how it felt to hold the mantis in the hand but my sister has held a lot of different animals in her hands so I guess it was nothing special for her :) Plus she already saw some mantises before, unlike me...
Well, chirping sound... I don´t know. Here in my country, it´s just the crickets and the cicadas who make some chirping sounds in the night but who knows, maybe the mantises can join the concert too :D :)
