* {{com|study}}: As you study the mantis, you think you could probably wear, remove, clean, flip, kiss, pinch, punish, rub, tap and tickle it.
* {{com|wear}}: You set your leaf mantis on your shoulder. The mantis flares its wings briefly before getting a good grip.
* {{com|remove}}: You carefully remove your leaf mantis from your shoulder. The mantis squirms and flares its wings briefly before resigning itself to being picked up.
* {{com|clean}}: Your leaf mantis begins an elaborate grooming routine, using its mandibles to clean its large, raptorial forelegs before moving on to the thinner walking legs.
* {{com|flip}} ''when worn'': You can't -- you're wearing it.
* {{com|flip}} ''when held'': You try to flip your leaf mantis onto its back for a belly rub, but the mantis quickly rights itself and makes a hissing noise with its abdomen.
* {{com|kiss}} ''when worn'': You kiss an emerald green leaf mantis with a palmate thorax!
* {{com|kiss}} ''when held'': You bring your leaf mantis to your lips for a kiss, but the mantis launches itself into the air and flutters away from your face before returning to your hand. What did you expect to happen?
* {{com|pinch}}: You give your leaf mantis a squeeze. In response, the mantis pinches you with its forelegs. Ouch!
* {{com|punish}}: You reach toward your leaf mantis as if to squish it. In response, the mantis flares its wings and forelegs to make itself look bigger and begins to sway back and forth in a threat display.
* {{com|rub}}: You gently pat your leaf mantis on its thorax, and the mantis pulls its forelegs close to its body in a defensive posture. Evidently, it does not like to be rubbed.
* {{com|tap}}: With one finger, you reach toward your leaf mantis. The mantis raises one of its forelegs and taps your finger as if to give you a high five.
* {{com|tickle}}: You try to tickle your leaf mantis, but it grasps your finger with its forelegs and holds on tight. Did you really expect the mantis to laugh?
