[QUOTE="The Mantis Menagerie, post: 338297, member: 10981"] Would is the wrong question because the USDA can legally justify shutting all non-permitted owners of exotic mantids, but they have taken no action to enforce the mantis regulations as far as I know. Even a physical pet store should get away with selling exotics based on the fact I have seen illegal phasmids at Repticon with no problem. (I even saw a post on Instagram showing an invasive weevil for sale at a show. I am pretty sure it was the invasive palm weevil [I forget the exact name] that recently became established in the Continental US and is one species where the regulations are enforced. Nevertheless, this vendor had it for sale in plain sight.) [/QUOTE]
