 Mantis care

Ive had lots of mantids over the years. I usually let them go before fall comes, but im looking to start keepin them over winter. Just looking for some info on how they live durin winter seasons, eatin and what not. I live in Buffalo,NY btw. The mantids Ive had are just the greens ones I catch around my house (not sure exactly what species). But any info on winter care would be appreciated. thx

Just keep them warm. Same feeding patterns, so they think it’s spring/autumn. You might want to put a heat mat under it just encase. So basically don’t change anything from how you’d keep them in summer, including temperature.

thanks
