Hello, my L4 hierodula majuscula hasn't eaten for the past 4 days. it molted like a week ago - L3 to L4, the day after it ate 2 blue bottle flies (bbf), since then nothing. It always hangs from the top of  the enclosure, I placed 3 bbf 4 days ago- they stay at the bottom of the enclosure. Is it the case that the mantis is not hungry, or  that it doesn't see  the flies? Ive tried placing the flies in front of it with tongs, but the mantis just runs away. Any insight is appreciated, i'm new to this. Thanks!
