Does a praying mantis migrate

Answer 1

Insects have three ways to survive winter, some migrate, some go into a larvae stage, and some lay their eggs in thick casings which survive winter. The latter is what the mantids do. Butterflies migrate, as in the Monarch. Dragonflies lay their larvae in ponds and survive under the ice emerging in the spring. The Praying Mantis has a short life span, rarely over a year. They lay their eggs in a thick foamy looking case that survives the cold. The babies hatch in the spring and are little look alikes to the adult. The hatch ready to eat, and will even eat each other. They molt as they grow, up to five times in a life span.
