I was thinking, since there are certain branches in Entomology, like being a Myrmecologist, or an Apiarist... where is the Mantidologist branch?  (Mantis in Greek is μάντις mántis...so I would assume a scientist that specifically studies mantises would be called something around the ball park of a Mantidologist)  Are there just not enough people pursuing that path/not enough interest in studying mantises for it to become a reputable branch/specification?All the best,Andrew</blockquote>
