Dark stain on nymphs eye.

It's not the pseudopupil. Its dark red and slightly raised. Is this normal and will be gone with her next molt?

Probably eye rub from the inside of its enclosure. You keep other critters nearby? They eyeball anything thatl is prey to them. 

How well it goes away would depend on the extent of the damage I guess.

I was briefly as I was cleaning their enclosures. So it's her pressing her face against the cage?

I’d agree with @hysteresis. It’s probably  just from her looking at everything there is to see! Unless it’s clearly affecting her vision, she should be fine!

Sometimes they do this no matter what you do setup wise. Some mantises are chill, others sketch out all day long. 

I keep the sketchy ones away from the others.

Yup, eye rub. She’ll be fine.

It will be gone with next molt. I had a mantis with an extra spot on her eye too, but a the next molt removed the spot.
