[QUOTE="amonofrio1, post: 266891, member: 7812"] Recently 8 of my 10 mantis have developed this weird problem where their abdomen is bent back and kind of floppy. When they hang upside down their abdomen flops back almost to their head (See Picture). I think it looks bad but the mantis act relatively normal otherwise, they eat when I put food in the cage and drink up when I spray them. I wonder if they don't have enough room to move around or they fell and bent their abdomen back. Most of them are in mason jars and are 2-3 months old. A couple have randomly died recently and I am worried that more will follow. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
