From "I think this is new" to a published, citable description.

- Master’s and PhD students whose supervisor is not a Mantodea specialist.
- Researchers in other groups who need a second pair of eyes on a Mantodea paper.
- Anyone describing a species for the first time who does not know the editorial process or the ICZN rules.
