I've heard that Platymeris can breed through parthenogenesis so hopefully you'll be able to breed them

I've seen an ad on arachnoboards selling various assassins from FL. Perhaps you can contact that person to get more natives?

What sort of life cycle do these guys have - do adults last over the winter or live longer than a year?

I've collected an old adult in winter before so I assume they can live longer than a year

I've seen both adults and nymphs during winter time by the way.

 
Some quick updates. Pic will follow in few days.

While I was gone to FL for 10 days, about half of the specimens I had got eaten by their siblings.

One adult, and one subadult nymph was given to my friend because he has a male that needs to mate.
