ISO beginner friendly mantises or ooths near tennessee

[eat.moss]

Hi! Basically title. I keep having issues with mantises dying during shipping and shipping is getting really expensive! Is there anyone selling mantises somewhat near Tennessee so that shipping wouldn’t be so rough on the insects + expensive? Seems like most sellers are all the way in California lol. Thank you so much!

ok 2 things
1: "near" and "far" are relative terms. I'm from New England, where "far" meant if I have to drive more than 20 minutes, it was a far away destination. In the south, some people are fine driving a day or 2 at a time, idk why?
2: probably because most of us are in the mode of heat pack plus insulation, but a warm phase 22 with insulation is PROBABLY ok to mail something to Tennessee this time of year. does it ever get below freezing even?

anyways, I will have ooths of Creobroter soon
