They are, really. I think a praying mantis is one of the few "armed and dangerous" bugs that I'll willingly carry. I found one in a mall a few months back- somehow it got onto one of the trees they had in the open area- and I carried it outside to safety. Go mantis! Go and hunt other bugs in that bloodthirsty fashion of yours!
I used to work in an entomology lab, but I didn't get to work with anything quite as cool as the mantis. I worked with little yuccasella moths. They're not quite as blood thirsty and they don't have long forearms with spikes on them.
