Yeah T___T But I have no clue what could have happened with his abdomen though. When he died, his abdomen was all red...wrinkly and squishy. He also had an opening on his side somewhere. I don't know where that came from.

Argh, he died a while ago ._. He was pretty lethargic this morning. Then when I looked at him 15 minutes ago, he was lying on his side, his abdomen was reddish, and I think I found a little opening on his side. :( Have no clue what the heck happened with him.

Anyone? T_T;

My mantis just molted a few days ago (He's a Chinese mantis L5 now) and so far, he seems like he's been weak or something. Usually after a molt, he's fine and runs around as he pleases. Sometimes, it looks like his dragging his hind legs around (though they move sometimes). There is no diarehea...

Oh, okay. Thanks for the info guys. ;)

I've been wondering how many molts my mantis will have till he becomes an adult. How many molts does a (Chinese) mantis go through. Obviously with the questions I'm asking, I'm a total noob. Sorry ;_;

My Chinese mantis is currently at L4 and is still eating fruitflies. I'm having a big feeling that when he grows even bigger, he'll need to change to a bigger food. When should I change the type of food...and what kind of food should I give him? :blink:

My Chinese mantis used to be brown. Now he's becoming greenish brown. My friend that gave me the mantis said both his parents were brown. I've also seen pictures of Chinese mantids green and brown at adult age. Are there any factors that make a mantis change its color? XD I'd really like to have...

Eeeeee! Andrea, he's molting right now ^___^

Yep, he's alright ^_^ He's currently molting as I'm typing this now. He's almost out XD. I looked at him 10 minutes ago, seeing some white head and I was like "OMG."

My friend told me that I need to introduce myself or someone will bash my head off. So...here I am. My name is Wenngee-Ruby (YES THE ODDEST FIRST NAME YOU'LL EVER SEE) but I'd prefer to be called by my nickname, but I won't mind if my friend on here calls me by my first name XD. I'm age...

Iknowiknow ;_; I'm just a worrywart. And I'll call you if anything happens. I think he's doing alright now...I hope.

Ah, alright. Thanks much for the advice. ^^ I'll see if I can find something for him to hang higher on XD I was just worried if he was becoming sick or something.

I'm a big noob with mantids. This is my first mantis that dearest Mantis_Whisper gave me XD He's adorable. But lately, he hasn't eaten (though he ate 3 flies the past two days, he could be possibly full, but I can't test it now since I need to get him more flies or something) he doesn't move...
