[QUOTE="mantiseater, post: 297638, member: 5952"] I have tried beating bushes before and have only found a few nymphs of stagmomantis floridensis in Tampa FL, Callimantis nymphs in Puerto Rico, and an adult male Acanthops centralis in Costa Rica(Spotted then hit into net.) I have found that sweep netting works by far the best for me. The thing about sweep netting is that if the technique or net is off it does not work very well for mantids. Also with sweep netting it is hard to get vegetation with any firm plants or sticks. I was talking to a mantodea researcher Dr. Julio Rivera about is success with bush beating a few days ago and he say it is really useful to him in desert-like or bushy areas like when he was collecting pseudostagmatoptera and orthoderella in some part of Brazil.
