Occasional shivers

[TrenMT]

Does anyone's mantis ever shiver for a second or so as if she's got the heeby jeebies or had an icecube on their back?

I'm not concerned mine is dying as she's been doing it since I got her I just wanted to know if it was normal behaviour.

I've seen this behavior in healthy mantids many times. I don't believe it's anything to worry about. ?

It's hard to really describe.

Kind of like the shivers you get after a jumpscare or listening to a piece of music that you really enjoy when your hair stands up

It just seems so bizzarre as I'd associate that behaviour with vertibrates. There must be a different reason behind it but its uncanny.

She is beautiful and healthy. That is normal behaviour.
