Hello. So I have an L3 double-shield mantis (Pnigomantis Medioconstricta) and it's acting very strange. It was feeding fine yesterday although it did look quite weak. Now it's keeping very close to the ground as if it was difficult to hold itself up. Also, it doesn't move much, but if it does the legs seem very weak and can barely grip on vertical surfaces. It refuses food as well. Does anybody know what might be wrong? What can I do about it? I don't want it to die..

 
Well I do spray my mantises everyday but since I got this only only a couple of days ago you might have a point. It did eat some banana. Maybe that's a good sign?
