[QUOTE="captainmerkin, post: 33895, member: 943"] I recently had someones friend over in a rather drunk state who works with bacterial cleansing and evaluation for the british government, in his drunkard state he got convinced that there could be issues with escaping mantis causing an environmental impact in the UK. Now my main debate was this: Escaping mantis cannot survive the uk winter -10 degrees C on occasion but most likely around +2 c to - 5 c No breeding partners Inability to hunt due to lower temps after summer months lack of food after summer months, lots of invertibrates tend to vanish in the uk between october - march now lets take his argument: warmer climate as things stand currently (im not convinced thats it will be high enough in near future to support mantis) possible other escapees to breed with ( well possibly but in brixton hardly likely) invertabrates ability to survive drastic climate and environmental changes ( possibly ) your thoughts?
