[QUOTE="Mvalenz, post: 251533, member: 6151"] Well my budwing is not doing too well after eating a firefly about 36 hours ago. I thought she was dead but she is still alive fighting for her life. I thought for sure she would start to decompose, but this morning she was still in one piece. Her legs seem to be curled up and not able to use them too well. I picked her up and went to place her back on her plant and she immediately reached her front arms out to it. She seem to still be able to use those. I pried her legs open and placed them on the plant as well. I gave her some water to help her pass the firefly through her system and she drank a lot. This girl has been through a lot. She mismolted at subadult and wasn't eating to well, but she pulled through that and made it to adult. Now this happens. She is definitely a fighter. These budwings are some tough mantids. [/QUOTE]
