If the Chinese mantis already exists in other parts of the U.S, given the above would it reason they have also reached FL since the birth of the industrial revolution? I would speculate they had previously been introduced to FL via ship traders, long before cars existed.Subsequently, I have on a number of occasions found oothecae of this mantid attached to the underside of freight cars. Mother mantis played unintentional roulette with her offspring, gambling that they would be in a good place to live when they hatched. I would be greatly surprised if vehicular dispersal, from bicycles to buses, has not been responsible for an appreciable fraction of the distribution of mantids in this country.
+1I'm not understanding this. Are you looking to validate your wrong idea?
There really is no need to get upset mykey14, I for one just tried to give you a informative answer that includes my experience with releasing. Unless you live in Hawaii(Big no-no) I believe Chinese are fine out doors, just don't go crazy with like 10 ooths is all. So smileWHEN OTHER MEMBERS ARE RIPPING ON ME
THATS WHEN I BACK OUT
