[QUOTE="Termite48, post: 156090, member: 3822"] Since I have been doing a bit of mailing of mantids and usually at one PO, where they have known me for about ten years, I am friendly with the various clerks. They, though this all they do, don't know what is legal or not sometimes, as far as mailing is concerned. My first mantid mailing was a couple of mantid mailing, a couple of months ago went well. The question was posed, what are you mailing. I said Praying Mantids. The boss lady had the other clerk look it up on a sheet of named prohibted items. It seems that poisoness insects and other live and poisoness arthropods were named. It even says on their notice that you cannot ship things like lighter fluid, batteries with Cadmium, and some other things. I was asked to print "live insects" on the box. This seems to be inviting a search. Now that I have read this thread, I do not think that I shall print anything but fragile on the box. Maybe that is not even a good idea. What do you all say about that? [/QUOTE]
