Do you know how long Giant Asians live?

Varies. It depends on the husbandry care it has received, what gender it is (females tend to live 2-4 months more than males), molting issues, and other factors including the individual itself. Typically mantids of any species tend to live around a year (8-13 months), with about 15 months being the usual maximum age for a well cared for individual.
