Hi, it appears my mantis has fallen.  She has been an adult for 3 weeks.  Her abdomen is pulsating profusely, there is a greenish substance between her prothorax and mesothorax.   She holds her self upright.  I offered her some crushed up wax worms and her mandibles do not move at all, she will occasionally move her forearms and head but mostly stays still.  Do you think she will pull through?  Anything I should try?

I found her in the morning near the bottom of her enclosure with her Raptors stretched which alerted me, tonight when I checked on her, her Raptors where retracted and she moved up the enclosure 5 inches or so

 
That green stuff is probably hemolymph or insect blood. She doesn't look too good, try some honey. I hope she is ok, but I don't know if she will be.
