Errr, a cop just gave me a fine for killing a praying mantis?
Find answers to your legal question.

The ticket says, "2:15 P.M. *********** was seen harming an endangered insect that people were watching in Bronx Park next to the restrooms and vending machines."

Some African kids were staring at a praying mantis on the road, and I drove over it on my motorcycle I just got out for the season again today. The mom started yelling at me and I pulled over to talk to her and a cop ran over and told me to get off the bike and go to his car. I tried to tell him that killing them being illegal is just a schoolyard rumor and it he should know the laws. He refused to even look at his laptop for information, and gave me a 250$ ticket to be payed within 25 days.
