We have them naturally here and yes they survive hard winters just fine, but often they'll hatch during a warm April false spring and get killed by the snow that arrives three weeks later. Was just trying to aid survival.eBay
If you try to get them delivered after frost date, you will most likely get duds.
In the wild, the egg cases survive all winter fine. I get mine early and stick them around places outside and let them hatch naturally.
But yes I understand that shipping out of cold storage means they're likely duds. Thanks for the advice!
