There's almost no scientific interest in mantids.

Well, breeding is different from scientific stuff. You sometimes get preserved specimens from Australia or even New Zealand while participating in a cooperation, but this would be only for me, so I doubt that there will be any permits.

[SIZE=14pt]oh well to bad you can't if you could study 3-4 pairs alive then no one would be killing 50 or so just for a number, then there would be more left in the wild be side if they breed you could ship back 3-4 pairs to put back in to the wild, ya it wouldnt work, mantids arnt like frogs where they are haveing to try saveing them the cane toad ya ya it stinks too.[/SIZE]

what would the odds be of getting caught shipping out a ooth if any were made!

After all the destructive invasive species that have ravened Australia's native wild life. I would think chances of getting caught are probally pretty high.

Massaman, it is really not worth the risk, and James would most likely be caught

At the moment no one really cares about the praying mantis hobby but exporting oothecae or live animals from countries where you WILL get caught will only endanger the hobby.
