[QUOTE="Peter Clausen, post: 277704, member: 421"] The Miomantis are a little small for my tastes. The Chinese are great though I don't personally advocate releasing them even though they are an established species and the US agriculture industry just LOVES them because they're a great ally against so-called pests to their non-native or non-natural and monocultured crops. But what can I say? I ate a bowl of granola for breakfast out here in Oregon. Anything that eats our native bugs but isn't native, no matter how long established, is something I don't personally feel cool about releasing. Our bugs have it hard enough without a 4 inch giant coming in on the scene at the last minute. But hey, everybody's doing it and they're sold in garden stores everywhere. In any case, pet mantises are endlessly interesting and fun and it sounds like you might have a bunch of them soon. Welcome to the forum! [/QUOTE]
