[QUOTE="MantisForMyKid, post: 335449, member: 11433"] Thanks everyone for the advice and kind thoughts. I suspect that the humidity in the enclosure was just too low. It's already dry in the house due to it being winter now, and she already hadn't been interested in eating for a few days, and just been hanging upside down. I helped her out of her molt this morning, but she's seems pretty immobile. Most likely I will put her down today. 😥 These were the first mantises we kept, and I certainly have to say they were a joy and a wonder. We've learned alot from the experience (especially this mismoult), which I'm ready to take forward into our next mantises, which ever they may be. Thanks everyone! [/QUOTE]
