There are times when some people only learn things from doing them the hard way. That being said while it would be good for him to learn a lesson here and not play with a mantis like that, I'm sure no one wants that lesson to be him loosing a finger.
I know I've thought (and I'm sure others have to) "serves you right, getting hurt for doing something so stupid" but usually that is only when someone wasn't hurt to bad, but bad enough to learn their lesson and not do it again. For example: jumping a bicycle over a ramp, falling off and scraping your knee. Gee that was dumb won't be doing that again. Pretty sure no one would wish that the bicycler would break their neck if they fell in order to learn a lesson.
