Please see attached image, my mantis fell during a molt, I found her wriggling on the floor of her home so I had to delicately as possible hold it up, this has been somewhat successful as she is alive and moving around, but unfortunately the leg is deformed, possible broken. Any advice? She molted last night, and hasn't eaten today. I think that's normal, but will she be ok, or suffering? Possibly repair the damage next molt, considering I keep her fed?

 
She looks perfectly fine to me. One messed up leg usually isn’t a problem. Mantis usually don’t eat until like 2-3 days after molting.

Thanks. Was sad finding her squirming at the bottom
