[QUOTE="Deacon, post: 289300, member: 8619"] This thread has made me curious about releasing mantids. What species of ooths do the garden stores in WA sell? I live in the Fircrest/Tacoma/University Place area. DeShawn, do you remember what you released in Tacoma ten years ago? Last summer, friends found Mantis religiosa in University Place and up in Packwood. Is it naturalized here or was it just released from a garden store ooth last summer? And if it did come from a garden store, does that mean that some government official decided it was okay to release them in this part of the country? I realize Mantis religiosa was imported so many years ago that it is the state insect of Conn. but that's a long way from WA. And, just because we find a particular mantis in a given locality, doesn't necessarily mean it is supposed to be there, right? So, how do we know what is "okay" to release and where? I mean, just because a mantis is on the list of mantids found in the US doesn't mean it can be let go everywhere in the country. Is there a list out there to advise us? [/QUOTE]
