Do Chinese mantids hide in high temps(100F-105F)

Well then it is Tenodera angustipennis is the care the same as a Chinese mantis? Is Tenodera angustipennis also nocturnal?

Wow that is great! I guess all mantids are active at night and day. They are very similar to each other.

mine in the greenhouse hide during the day when it is really hot and then in the evening they come out and I can get a head count

Wow, really? I couldn't possibly keep track of mine even if my little garden was enclosed.

You might be surprised at the amount of cooling plants provide. The plants tend to keep a relatively constant temperature. With their transpiration temperatures can be 20 to 30F or more degrees cooler in the underbrush. To a bug the plants are like a giant shady cool forest.

Temps have dropped back down into the 80's now but there is still no rain. Should i do a hose misting or something to give some water?
