[QUOTE="yen_saw, post: 11429, member: 12"] We had few days of cool front last month at temp near low 40s (That's cold in Houston!) and just when i thought that would wipe out most mantis species here, I saw many grass mantis nymphs and some green mantis nymphs (not sure what species) probably L1 or L2 while serching for grubs. So that makes me believe that some mantis actually live through winter, with slower growth rate but not hibernate. My guess would be if temperature didn't fall below freezing point continuously for too long and warm up during day time they survive through winter here. So as their ootheca. Which also explain why some southern species of mantis can never be found near US and Canada border. [/QUOTE]
