I was told that at an entomological convention cockroaches were separated from order Orthoptera and put in a separate order – Blatopera (I think). Obviosly someone didn’t like their nice crickets, mantids, etc. mixed up with filthy roaches.
Also, I’ve been told that there’s no law against killing mantids, but isn’t it about time we stopped using chemical insecticides and began using methods that weren’t so anti-environmental?
