It has various uses. For example, last week I used Dodge at 33% opacity and kept brushing my daughter-in-laws double chin until it disappeared.

Good one! No, she's not a member. She's beautiful. She asked me to edit it out of a picture to be used to identify her on a school website.

Traditionally, back in the days of film, in the darkroom with your negative on the enlarger, you could "lighten" certain areas of your photo by "burning"; i.e. causing more exposure over just that one area. You could also darken certain areas by "dodging". i.e. covering the light with a small piece of paper or your hand in a circling motion to lessen the amount of light put to the paper (print medium).

Backwards by accident, I suspect, but good description.
In a darkroom, printing negatives, dodging made things lighter. (remember paddle dodgers?)
Burning them in makes them darker. Hands were a common burning in tool, thus the hand icon in Photoshop.
Really nice mantis BTW!
