hahaha, yeah i know they are edible. Apparently it's a very popular contonese dish called "shako" or "****ing shrimp" because they used to just throw them in a boiling pot and they would release their bowels. yum yum ammonia. Nowadays they stab them to release the bowels before throwing them in.
but despite them being good to eat, i would greatly prefer a LIVE mantis!
