Mantids. Is it too late?

Is it too late to get some egg cases now, so they'll mature and lay
their own eggs? I live in NJ and it's the middle of August.

I've noticed a serious lack of frogs and toads about my yard this year.
Usually I have Wood Frogs fleeing from my lawn mower about this time of year
and I have a leopard frog or two and another I can't remember that hang
about my bird splashing pool. I heard them in the spring, but haven't seen
them around.

Are you in the northeast? Blame this year's rotten weather. The tadpoles
were probably killed off by a late freeze.
