NEW MANTIS v. 2.0 (beta) AVAILABLE


The long-awaited, updated version of Mantis has finally arrived. Although still in beta version, it is "fully functional and will never expire." I am ordering (thanks to my very generous advisor) FileMaker Pro 8.5 so I can use all the cool web-publishing features. So excited. A stand-alone version is also available if you don't have Filemaker. I have used the old version for the past several years to keep track of my ever-growing database of Amazonian ant specimens and have been very satisfied with it. I do have a few complaints, and am hoping they will be fixed in the new version. So, give it a try if you are so inclined. It can be found here.

  1. I've used Mantis for a long time and have been eagerly waiting for the new version, but the site you link to seems to be down.
    Can I possibly get the latest version from you?

  2. The site should work, but if you still can't get it to work, you can email Piotr Naskrecki (the author) yourself: p.naskrecki@conservation.org
