[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 242461, member: 4001"] You could try to place drops of water on the stuck skin and gently pull at it. If the mantis is really small, a toothpick or needle can be placed between the skin and mantis to brace it so the insect can try to wiggle free once the skin is softened with water. It may need help to feed now. I have a mantis whose head and front legs were stuck. I place a disabled feeder on a toothpick so she can bend down and eat it. Could you put up a photo of the mantis' condition? [/QUOTE]
