Good news! She’s still free of anymore vomiting and she’s molted! Hopefully in the clear now. 

 
Okay weird thing, after she molted she’s started it up again. Only small amounts and not nearly as dark as before but she’s throwing up again ? she seems otherwise fine.. i don’t get it. 

 
I am still giving her around 7-8 hydei whenever her abdomen starts looking too flat. I haven’t gone back to the blue bottles since they were what she was eating when this all started. 

 
I agree, start the honey treatment again. Can you try feeding her Dubias instead of flies?

I can try to find a small enough dubia. I think I still have a few nymphs... in the meantime I’ll start the honey. 

 
Shes still doing it and now its looking reddish. No longer a dark brown. Honestly I have no idea because she's otherwise still acting fine! Maybe its not what I thought it was? I'm unsure.

Ultimately shes quarantined from my others and I wash my hands in between her and them in case she has something. If she never passes then great! weird but great! If she does then I've tried everything I can think of. 

 
That is good. If she doesn't really seem affected, then she may not be sick. I have really no clue what this could be!

Leia passed away today..  it’s my first ever mantis death but I had been preparing for this outcome for a while. I still don’t know what this was but she fought it for so long and at least I know I truely tried my best to save her. 

 
Oh, no! You fought very hard for her, I am so sorry that you couldn't save her. :(
