Will I Be Able to Breed Mantis

[Jab91]

So I have 3 male and 2 female orchid mantis. I want to be able to breed them. Two of the males have molted into their adult form this past week. The females just molted today to their sub-adult form, so next one should be adult? 
 

my question is, do you think the males will live long enough to breed with the females? I was apparently unsuccessful in slowing down the males enough, so is there anything I can do to extend the males life? Feed more? Feed less? Colder temps?

I’m fairly new to the hobby so don’t know a lot of the terms, all input welcome though.

Keep the males at room temp, and feed em every 5 days or so. Just a fly. The females you cook. Let them feed feed feed.

The males can last 3 mos or so.

Oh ok, thanks for the advice hysteresis!
