Ghost Mantis Nymph Problem

[hymenopus]

Hello, I have a Ghost Mantid that was eating three days ago and suddenly stopped being able to catch food, she still sometimes notices prey but never makes an effort to catch it. What is going wrong???

Some good news, she ate a part of a cricket (around 1/4) last night!!

She has now been eating 1/8 cricket every night but only at night!

Ghosts sometimes don't eat, one of mine wasn't eating for a whole week! So don't be surprised if they don't eat for a few days. I think it is normal for them to not eat sometimes. Also it could mean the mantis is going to molt soon. Glad to hear she is eating though.   Maybe she just wasn't hungry? Or the prey was too big?

That is interesting that she is only eating at night.
