[QUOTE="Rick, post: 272893, member: 13"] Assuming this is directed towards me. I don't think you understand what I was trying to say. The most simple explanation must be taken into account first. Insects providing parental care doesn't sound ridiculous at all, in fact in some orders it is the norm. All I was trying to say was that parental care in mantids appears to be little studied. No where did I say it won't be done or couldn't be done. I believe I mentioned there was definitely some opportunity there. I wasn't trying to imply that it couldn't be taking place but that evidence for it is lacking which doesn't mean I am just closing off my mind and chalking it all up to people seeing what they want to see. It is not that I don't think the observations are credible but that we just shouldn't jump to conclusions without first considering the most simple explanation first (Occam's razor). I think these observations are fantastic and interesting but I apply a dose of skepticism as all scientists should with these things. :stuart: [/QUOTE]
