when to bring inside

It's going to be cold in NY tonight, in the 40's. Should I bring my first and second instars inside?

Bring inside only if the overnight temp will be below 30 degrees F

Yes, I would bring them it. Temps like that really slow down the cycle. If they keep being exposed to lower temps, the cycle will take much longer. These guys need to finish their cycle and get on their way to Mexico.
