Mantis life expectancy?

Sounds Fishy, yeah you have to figure that hitchhiking species like small N. Wennerae's are pretty durable. Dr. Caldwell used to talk about that. He said that when organizations "farm LR" they collect huge piles of it and often let it sit on the beach for several hours before it's crated in water and prepared for shipping. Many mantis shrimp survive that experience somehow, pretty crazy.
