New problem! Help!

[windupviera]

Hi guys, so today I’ve encountered an issue I haven’t experienced with my other mantids in the past and looking for a bit of advice if possible.

Noted today after my girl pooped that she seems to have this barely visible ‘string’ protruding from her abdomen.

Can anyone tell me what this is and how to go about dealing with it if I need to?

Thanks in advance and apologising for the quality of the photo, used my phone camera.

Small update: she managed to flick whatever is was off independently, but I’m still somewhat baffled

i would not worry about it. It looks healthy enough.

Thank you for the reply. She did have a little blip and a touch of constipation following, which I thought would spell disaster. But she’s very much rallied and back to all normal behaviours and bodily functions
