Anyone Experienced This My H. Maj Decided To Crawl To The Floor And Molt Standing Up, Didnt Go Good She Didnt Make It, Now My Male Is Lonley, Lol. She Got Stuck Half Way.

 
One of my chinese nymphs did this once and made it through, But i think it was because i didn't have proper decor or anything for him/her to hang from.

 
That's Very Weird. I Never Saw A Mantis Trying to Molt On The Floor. You've Got One Demented Mantis There, Lol.

Sorry For Your Loss Though. You Should Have Tried To Force Her To Climb On Something.

By The Way, Why Do You Write With Every Word Starting With A Capital Letter? It Confuses Me And It Actually Makes Me Take Longer To Read.

she has plenty decore and always hangs from top, but went to bottom to molt.

 
Maybe she really had some mental issues, lol.

I really don't know. I never saw it happen before. Are you sure she decided to molt on the floor? you were not home at the time and maybe she fell off and landed perfectly on the 4 legs? I don't know... But it's a possibility. A remote one but it is.
