Bringing back to the U.S

[massaman]

Just wondering if you could chose some species that were in the U.S but are out of circulation or not in culture anymore in the U.S then which species would you want back into culture?

How about Tyrannosaurus rex? :lol:

 

[massaman]

uhh RIGHT!!!

How about bringing back those nigerian flower mantids of course as long as they dont try to blow up any breeders!

 

[ismart]

Of course Stagmomantis californica. I would love to see the comparison between them and the rest of the Stagmomantis genus.

I want a genetically mutated breed of Tenodera sinensis developed that grows 8 inches, lives for 20 years and hibernates in the winter like a bear!

 

[MantidLord]

Of course Stagmomantis californica. I would love to see the comparison between them and the rest of the Stagmomantis genus.

+1 A real mantis that will serve some scientific purpose.

 

[sbugir]

B. mendica for me, or as Katnapper said, T. rex.

 

[Ntsees]

Of course Stagmomantis californica. I would love to see the comparison between them and the rest of the Stagmomantis genus.

Another +1 here. Although they aren't extinct, it's just hard to come by.

How about Tyrannosaurus rex? :lol:

:lol: we become the praying mantis in that case!

 

[ZoeRipper]

Archimantis monstrosa.

I dunno where it's from, but it looks cool. Anybody know it?

 

[massaman]

Dont know if anyone could even find it its supposedly rare now in australia

 

[MantidLord]

If there were some ancient mantis that served as a link between prehistoric roaches and modern mantids (and was in the U.S), I'd choose that.

 

[massaman]

well there is probably some unexplored places left on earth that could house these and theres always new discoveries in jungles or rain forests and maybe new species of mantis yet to be found and would be interesting if there were any underwater species of mantis but not anything like the mantis shrimp mind you!

I hate it when the goverment makes blanket bans

they ban all speices of exotic mantids including the ones who cans survive because it is easier and cost a tiny bit less

they then squander the "tiny bit" On Iraq

iraq

 

[massaman]

well I would love to see this species brought into culture and looks like its a king cobra of the shield mantids!

Choerododis rhombifolia or hooded mantis
