About a year. Usually less in my experience. When I raised them, mine lived an average of 10 months from hatching to death.

Depends on the species and conditions.
Keep them warmer and they grow faster so die quicker.
Chinese mantis go for around 10 months while Miomantis species can go for around 16 months.
