How does mantis survive in the cold winter of brookly?

Mantis species, such as the Carolina mantis, survive the cold winter in Brooklyn by entering a state of diapause, a form of dormancy that allows them to withstand freezing temperatures. Females typically lay eggs in a protective foam mass called an ootheca, which insulates the eggs during winter. When temperatures rise in spring, the eggs hatch, allowing the new mantises to emerge. Additionally, adult mantises generally die off in winter, with their life cycle completing before the cold sets in.
