abdomen popped

[bugmeout]

Help, my fat female sphodromantis lineola fell about 4 feet hit the floor, and her abdomen popped a little, she has a bead of white liquid coming out of the top of her abdomen, will she die or will it coagulate and seal, please help

It may seal, but a drop of honey on it is what others will say.

Do you have a picture? How is she now?

BMO -

I had an adult female Tenodera sinensis fall 6 feet onto a marble floor.  She also ruptured her abdomen. I sealed the wound with a small amount of honey.  She not only survived, but went on to give me 5 ooths.  Do not, under any circumstances, try to use any human medicines (like Bactine or a topical antibiotic).  Honey is a natural antibacterial.

Here's a photo of her (Tiffany) just after the accident.  If you search this forum using "Tiffany" you'll probably find the incident.

@Digger, oh my goodness you are giving me hope! Can I ask you some questions about how you actually did this? My girl has a similar problem, with some eggs (maybe) on the outside. Thanks in advance.

Super glue is good for quickly sealing tarantula injuries. So super glue may work for mantids too.

Thank you. Is super glue toxic though? Do you think I should try to push in the eggs that are on the outside? Or remove them? I tried earlier to see if they would come off easily and they feel pretty hard/stuck. They look like they have dried a little too.
Thanks,
