The hairs or whatever on their legs can sometimes almost feel like they are almost about to bite though, if they touch a thin spot of your skin just right. Otherwise it just tickles.
Ah ha! Praying Mantis beware! Next time I see one, I'll scoop it up. I think my mom told me they bite if only to keep me from pestering the little critters.
