3. "Through breeding programs and genetic engineering, I've developed a new form of praying mantis. Tenodera carnifex is extremely aggressive towards other insects. And while mantises are usually diurnal, this breed has nocturnal habits, along with traits such as enhanced night vision -- making it perfectly adapted to hunting and killing cockroaches. I propose that the city releases a large number of my Tenodera carnifices to deal with the roach problem." -- Margaret Massie, email to the Culverton city council
