Praying Mantis are taking over my workplace

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.

I actually have about 5 pics of me carrying different mantis's the last few days if you want to see. My dad took those pics so they are all blurry like the one I posted here but it shows that I don't get bite by them. lol My dad is just amazed as I am about the abundance of these bugs this year. He just had to get a pic of every one that I saved from the shop, or at least every one I saved while he was here. lol

Ugg. They look exactly like alien creatures. Once when I was a kid,
we were playing hide & seek & I was hiding in bushes near a nieighbor house
when I suddenly spotted a praying mantis directily in front of my face
I screamed so loud I was found in 2 minutes.
