This was at the back of my head for my single loss too. She was nowhere near a radiator, but was the only one in a relatively open / screened top enclosure. The other sinensis were in closed containers with small ventilation holes. Perhaps I even made her condition worse by feeding honey/pollen when I noticed she wasn't feeding...My running hypothesis is just that the mantids became dehydrated.
And I'm sorry that I looked up 'prolapsed'...good to know and what I inferred from the context...but some of the images that popped up...or should I say popped *out* :barf:
