Nice find. I've kept many different species of mantis over the years and O.s. (peacocks) are my favorite.

Congrats Warr, that's a beauty

Always wondered, can you pick them up or touch them? Are they finger and hand safe?

Nope if it smacks you, will split your fingers.

It has the same power as a 2.2 bullet

Remember uses these clubs to crack mussels, clams and crabs open.
