Build a 2x1 house lead mantis into house place back walls wait for it to deaggro then you can feed it through the wall
For taming it safely, build a one on one house with 3 Walls, lead it into the house and put the last wall.
If She attack the wall, go far and cameback.

I'd then leave with 300+ chitin and polymer. My raptor only lost 400 out of 1300 health after going back to back killing 3 level 80s in a row.
WARNING: THESE GUYS JUMP REALLY FAR SO IF YOU DO NEED TO RUN AWAY JUST BE AWARE THAT THEY WILL LEAP TO YOU.
They can hold items in their hands, put 2 swords in and watch your killing samurai machine rampage, slicing everything and anything in your path.
