[QUOTE="msandsm, post: 287058, member: 8748"] Thanks! I live at the northern end of California's Central Valley. Summer temps average about 90-95, but often reach 103 or higher. Winter temps (day) are in the low 40's, but it can go below 32 at night. I have thought about bringing her inside, but it seems kind of cruel as she's always lived outdoors. How low a temperature can a Carolina mantis tolerate? I would consider giving her a home if the temps here are too cold, which I'm guessing they are. Can you recommend a good species of mantis for a pet? I like both the Chinese and the African mantids, but I'm not sure I want to feed the size of live food they require. (Can they live on smaller food if it's given in abundance?) Maybe a mantis in the 2.0-2.5" range? I also prefer the "stereotypical" mantis look, rather than some of the fancier ones. Thanks for your help! [/QUOTE]
