i only know my mantis is molting when i offer it food and it refuses, or just strikes at it not grabbing it

because it will just hang upside down for ages if undisturbed

 
She climbed down and sat on the leaves for a bit, so I tried to feed her and she grabbed the fly instantly and ate it.

Guess it was a false alarm. :rolleyes:

I'm planning on feeding once every three days, is this alright? I'm not going to breed her(although if I find a male I'll let them mate and put the ooth out in the garden) so I'd like to have her live a little longer than average, and the caresheets I read said this would help.
