A couple of minutes ago, I was checking on my mantids and unfortunately my adult female Indian Flower mantis was laying at the bottom of her enclosure, dead. I'm not surprised though, she was getting really old and I'm actually more surprised by how long she had lived, I had her for nearly a year. She laid 3 ooths during her time, the last one she laid only about a week or two ago.
I was wondering if there is a way to preserve her body, besides just putting it in the freezer? My knowledge on taxidermy is pretty much zero I'm afraid, especially with insects, lol.
