- Project Mantodea is a collaborative program to revise the classification of praying mantises (Mantodea) and is funded by a Revisionary Synthesis in Systematics (REVSYS) grant from the US National Science Foundation awarded to GJ Svenson (PI) and KB Miller (CoPI).
- This website is dedicated to providing project results and taxonomic resources to the broader community of researchers and the public.
Sampling Mantodea
Though the majority of praying mantis sampling is accomplished through "virtuoso" collecting, a number of additional techniques have proven effective in tropical fieldwork include: canopy rope climbing, remote canopy trapping, malaise trapping, and mercury vapor lamping.
