Did Noah have a preying mantis on the ark?

Answer 1

Since the Ark is made entirely of wood, it would not be wise to bring Termites inside the Ark. So my guess is that, Noah did not bring termites inside the Ark. This goes for woodpeckers too. Answer Genisis states that God brought two of every kind of animal to Noah to store on the ark. That includes lions, dogs, monkeys, dinosaurs, termites, and yes, woodpeckers too. Assuming that the the flood really occurred and that good created all creatures before the flood there are two possibility's A boy termite and a girl termite were brought onto the ark or termites survived the flood in a piece of drift wood.

Answer 2

Noah had to take every species of mosquito, every parasite, every bacteria and even viruses onto the Ark and nurture them until they could survive once again in their natural environment, if he wanted them to survive the Flood. That is, if there really was a great Flood that covered the whole world.

Answer:

There is no indication in Scripture that mosquitoes were on the ark, nor at that time that any disease bearing creature was present. Since man lived much longer before the flood, God may have begun troublesome diseases about that time, because of the wickedness of man. Mosquitoes could have been present or were being held dormant as they do presently over winter.

Answer 3

If he did have them on the ark, they no doubt flew aboard or hitched a ride on other animals.

Answer 4

Yes he had it on the ark.
