Athena, one of my G. chiraga got me once, when I was first putting her into her tank. It hurt for a second, then went sort of numb, The next day, I was opening a cooler at work, and it felt like my finger had snapped. It was a pretty painful bone-bruise for a few days.

Gonodactylus has us all beat, as I am sure that the good Dr. Roy has been caught many times over the years.

Ok, here is a pic. It was only a 50mm Gonodactylus viridis and it hurts very much.

Nice I got grazed once by a 6-7 inch peacock, but no damage except to the carpet underneath where I was standing.

I have heard of a story where a guy got speared by a huge mantis while fishing. It like broke his wrist and broke a couple of fingers. Bad cuts too.
