They do that? That's amazing, really. Little tiny critters... imagine it from their point of view. "Holy cow! That thing is huge! wait... it's giving me food... hey... this works..."
hehehe...
I think their attitude is more along the lines of...
"It's a giant! Hide! HIDE! Wait...that mist feels nice. OK then, giant. You can spray me, but don't try anything funny or I'll snip the tip of your finger off with my pincher."
They couldn't even break the skin, but I let them think they're intimidating to boost their egos. *smiling*
