How Many Mantids Have You Had?

Actually, the scientific name should be italic and the species name shouldn't be capitalized. Example: Tenodera sinensis.

Btw, can anyone inform me if there is a way to make italic text with the mobile version? :blush:

I am well aware of the scientific name of the inverts I am keeping, but thanks for the lesson in terminology.

I hadn't meant to make you feel as if you didn't know - I, personally, just don't like calling them the ghost mantid because that's not the name of their species. It's my own thing, call it OCD or whatever you'd like. And JUST in case you didn't know, I put in parenthesize what it stood for. No need to get defensive; reacting with sarcasm and rolling your eyes.

I don't bother with italics, but it's good to know that the species' name shouldn't be capitalized.
