well since I'm the only one here from Connecticut I might as well tell you a little bit about it. We have chinese and european mantids native here, we get cold winters, the pepridge farm place is here in Connecticut, and it's basically an average state with a lot of younger people living here and not too many animal fanatics. We have a bioblitz here (I attended last June), and a lot of corn, apples, and cucumbers are grown here. I'm still looking for another CT member and advice on finding native mantids because this year I haven't found any of the mantids I used to see hanging around here and I want to breed chinese or european mantids this year. One population here was buldozed over, and a large population just vanished. But if you have any questions about this state, feel free to ask.
