[QUOTE="Ranitomeya, post: 289275, member: 6796"] Any species growing near human habitation and agricultural areas within the US have high likelihood of being impacted by pesticide useage. T. sinensis and S. carolina are the two most commonly distributed biological control species in the US, so they're bound to be the most visible species even with pesticide use. Also, S. carolina would be native, so if it is indeed a thriving and common species there, we could argue against T. sinensis displacing it. For my area and the surrounding areas that I've been to, I'm more likely to find Mantis religiosa, Tenodera sinensis, and Iris oratoria than the native Stagmomantis californica. Some species do better in disturbed habitats and may benefit from the production of clearings--species that prefer grassy areas to lush forests, for example. [/QUOTE]
