Happy new year folks!!

Besides the Chinese Mantis, are there any other praying Mantis Oothecas that can handle sub zero freezing weather? 

 
If you use the net to check out the average temperatures in the region your mantid of interest comes from, thatd be one way to get an idea, but besides the common chinese and european mantids any north american species should be fine.

 
Theres a fellow on here who has posted some updated stuff on many if not all north american species. That might be a good place to start, Im trying to recall his user name..

That's straight out of Orin's book.

N American species. 

I dont think they can all take it. For example, the Carolina mantis should be in ON and PQ by now. Why isn't it?
