This week my Father wound up coming across a two inch adult Mantis and bringing it home for me. So he'Z in his cage and everything. But last night, my smallest Hierodula Nymph (Who went over a good month without molting) ended up on the ground. I know he was fed earlier enough (Fruit Flies) that that wasn't an issue. The same thing happened with one of his sisters a while ago, I recall mentioning. At their size I'm sure his two remaining big sisters should be fine, one of them just ate last night. Actually, I should probably name all of my remaining Mantises now.
My father suspected that their might've been something wrong with him, considering he didn't molt as fast as his siblings. But then, all I was able to feed him were fruit flies, since he never got big enough to take down a cricket, so I switched to meal worms, which he grabbed, then the worm broke free. So he acted like he was scared of them after that.
