[QUOTE="ladyarcana55, post: 314763, member: 10706"] His last Molt was April 26. When my husband and I were going to bed, we noticed he had slipped and had gotten caught in the small branch I put in his enclosure to climb on. We assumed that he would be able to climb out on his own because he didn't look like he was trapped. When we woke up he had molted. I freaked out and that's where my last post had come from. His legs are fine and he is moving but there is a slight angle to his thorax that you can't see in the photo. His wings also look like they got crumpled up. I kind of feel bad now. I thought he would molt one more time and it would fix things. When he was given to me my friend said he was still really young. But then, he likes to leave a lot of food in the enclosure with his mantids so I am guessing he over feeds them. But this is my first mantis and I know I have a lot to learn. But I love it and I can't wait for the next one. Thanks everyone for being so patient with me! [/QUOTE]
