or should i sleep on the couch?

Answer 1

praying mantis are good luck. not to mention a cool bug to look at. i would take it outside. if it is a pet you can put it in a jar or a box to keep it happy, but i think the best solution is to rerelease him outside, not before taking a picture. they are cool

Answer 2

Have you PRAYED about it yet?

Answer 3

Can you catch it in a glass and then slide a piece of paper under it to contain it and then release it outside?

Answer 4

Praying mantis seem to like warm temperatures, which is probably why it's in your light shade.  You could attempt to let it out of your window???

Answer 5

kill it 4get about the light

Answer 6

Never harm a praying mantis. They are protected by LAW. I would carefully unplug the lamp. Don't knock the mantis out-- they can (dependent on its age) pinch you with their pincher's.

Set the lamp outside and let the mantis go on its marry way. They are wonderful for insect/pest control.

Answer 7

i wouldn't want to get rid of it, praying mantises are good luck!  don't kill it, it's just a bug! scoop it up and take it outside! then you'll be just fine.
