[QUOTE="Curiosity, post: 345239, member: 11842"] [USER=7899]@Bugmankeith[/USER] That is an interesting question…the mantises I have euthanized this way were pretty clearly dead when they came out. Of course, most of them were already dying of illness or injury first, and they might have just finished bleeding out in the freezer. But I get pretty sentimental about the corpses and keep them around for a while, at first specifically to see if they were actually dead, and I've never seen one revive before. Also, this wouldn't apply to all species. There's no way tropical mantises can survive being frozen. It also falls smack into the category of questions it would be easy to answer, if only I had a test subject I was willing to lose. I could just stick one of my mantises outside and see if she revives in the spring. Not happening, for obvious reasons :) [/QUOTE]
