[QUOTE="markdneck, post: 30547, member: 1111"] Hey this is SoCal! We only have "WARM" months but we also have lots of pesticide everywhere. I'd be afraid to feed locally wild caught bugs. It is like the snails here, they are everywhere in the garden. Story is around goldrush time French settlers brough them in for escargot. Everybody uses snail poison so if you catch snails (easy to do!) you can't eat them lest you die from arsenic poisoninig! After I hatch and get my first nymphs started I don't think I will be a "breeder" so I will feed the larvae and hope to get to cricket stage soon. Mantids die off when the weather gets cold. Is the lifespan hard programmed in or here in warm SoCal, can they live through the "winter", live more than a year? [/QUOTE]
