| We had one on our palm tree after hurricane Jeannie. An American friend told us not to touch it, as we could face a fine of $50.000 if caught!!
Like, I would want to touch one of them  |

Did you mean a Mantis in your tree?
Are they really protected, it is just an insect after all, a cool looking one, but still an insect? |
