Horrible molting

[TheHybridGryph]

Another health issue with my children. It looks like she has gotten stuck in it.

Edit: I freed her abdomen from the shed, now it is the hope that she can do the rest overnight.

Good luck!

She couldn't make it through the last of the shed overnight. I think I have an L7 curse. (Another one has a bend in the thorax)

Am very sorry. When i have chinese mantis nymphs if i dont get the humidity perfect and sometimes for no reason at all some just have terrible mismolts. I feel sad that they are so prone to them. For the bent abdomen one, does he have some kind of leaning sticks to sit on so he doesnt just hang upside down all the time?

They can stand upright on the sticks fine. She ended up molting abdomen first though and it got stuck and even after I freed it she couldn't get out all the way as she started incorrectly.

I'm so sorry for your loss! It is hard to lose a mantis in a way that you could never have helped.
