You're welcome! Just let me know when you guys are tired of identifying all my mantids.

It was released right away. Are they pretty rare, or what?

Here's another one found in the same area as the first. So what species is it?

I bet they couldn't stand up to the apex predators though. Not for long. Especially if it was a group. Just like Lions, and hyenas still eat tortoises, and pangolins sometimes.

Thanks! Yeah, I will for sure. It would be pretty cool. Even if there is only a small chance.

I can wait a little bit. I was just wondering for future reference. I've wanted this species for years, so it'll be my first exotic mantis when the time comes. Hopefully very soon.

Yeah, I can imagine. I've considered preserving dead mantids, but have never done so. I remember pinning, and preserving bugs being very hit, or miss as a kid.

Wow, noice! Congratulations!

Ankylosaurus? Well they're heavily armed, but they're all about defense. Animals like that did pretty well for themselves, at least until humans came along. Up until recently we had like glyptodons, and giant land tortoises on the continents. Spears succeeded where teeth failed.

Not about the raptor though.

Yes, definitely. Well said davetaki9.

Oh cool, yeah. I'm interested.

Because of posts like that?

Hhhmm, That's too bad. It would be awesome if they could be selectively bred for color, or other mutations.

But what if they're both super hungry?

Psuedocreobotra wahlbergii, where's the best place to get them?

Well, maybe a Utah Raptor.

Yes, thanks Precarious, for that rant. Nobody here is seriously contemplating fighting mantids. However they are creatures who happily eat their own kind. So thinking about who might win, or what might happen comes easily. Just like with dinosaurs, and other aggressive creatures. P.s. We all...

Haha, yeah I feel ya! I did very similar things. Over crowding unsuitable animals as a kid. If only we could turn back time. :( Also I can't believe you got scared of a moth.lol

I'll put you down as a maybe.
