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!

not stupid at all, for a while i had no idea what bump meant either. A "bump" is used when you have a thread that hasn't been posted in for a while. It "bumps" the thread back to the top of the list if the thread is unanswered but still viable (im still looking for a mantis for example). Why bump? because we have nothing else to say, lol.

nice to hear you want a mantis too. they are sooo cool. the only problem with you wanting a mantis is that it creates competition for me... grrrrr. i kid.
