Obviously this is a whole different ball game but my cat of 21 years had seizures in the weeks before he was euthanized. Obviously he was an old man. I'm not sure if that means anything in terms of mantids but maybe it's neurological deterioration? Otherwise I would say the pesticide hypothesis is a good guess. If it is a parasite I think your best next action is to clean obsessively. Wash your hands, the old enclosures, the decor, anything that touched them. Sterilize any tweezers (or other communal tools) you used with a Clorox wipes or alcohol then water, or something of that ilk. Better safe than sorry!Sorry for your losses
