How safe shipping oothecae or nymphs during winter?

[ThrAwNy]

Winter is near and soon the temperature will fall below zero.

How safe is it to ship manitds or oothecae when it's cold? I know we can help this with heat pack and now we even have 40 hrs heat pack but what if the parcel takes a whole week and you live in part of the world where the temperature are near zero or below zero.

Would it be safe to ship with insulation material inside the box and adding a heat pad for over a week.

Thanks,

JeAn

No problems shipping ooths. Ship overnight delivery with heat packs for live mantids is the safest way. Insulated box with heat packs shipped two or three day should also be ok.
