I'm pretty sure this hasn't been posted on here. I found it today while surfing around youtube.(this is not me) It's a video of some kid holding, petting, and playing with a big L. Maculata. I was shocked at how it lets him do that. What do you guys think?

That mantis isn't healthy. A normal mantis would not allow that to happen.

Haha it's only idiocy if it requires a trip to emergency care!
Kind of like it's only illegal if you get caught

Well either way, that certainly isn't something I'd try. My fingers are short enough as it is.
