From my experience, no. I've kept a few of them and studied them in the their natural habitat. They are not swimmers; remember that any creature that can't swim will not go into large bodies of water but they do drink water either from dew or small puddles. Most insects are the same way.
they get most of their water from the bodies of their prey they also will drink the dew off of plants.
"Praying mantises" or "praying mantes" are both accepted, as is "praying mantids".
mantises or mantids

Yes they can. Some insects overwinter, which is a form of hibernation, but I do not know if praying mantids do.
Only certain types of mantids
they can be green brown yellow pink red so on
Praying mantids are insects and lay egg sacs. There is no live birth involved.
ok, first of all, i love them. (praying mantis) there is two proper names for a praying mantis. Praying mantids or praying mantises. Personally, i think mantises is better!
Actually, the reason why a Praying Mantids eye turns black is because it is in need of water, spraying their cage with some water should help, just dont spray directly on the mantis!
Lacewings, ladybugs, parasitic wasps, and praying mantids.
