Opinions please!

So I’ll attach two photos of my orchid mantis Rose, does she look healthy?

She did a molt (which was intact) on the 1st November 2022, it’s now almost feb and nothing yet! She has been eating fine up until 8 days ago, now she literally runs away from any food I present her (tried many kinds) and does not want it at all! Which to me would indicate she’s getting ready to molt?

She was doing this weird wriggling/dancing in the video for about 15minutes and is now just chilling on the roof again upside down.

Please give me your opinions and how you think she looks? Healthy?

I spray her very gently (she enjoys water I think and just starts sucking it up from her arms), and the tank daily and keep the humidity around 65-80%. Her temperature is 18 Celsius at night and 25-28 Celsius in the day!

Sorry, I was using free websites to share the image/video as I didn’t know how else to attach it here, but I just found the place to click to do it. I apologise, it should be viewable now I hope

Is it normal to not molt for that long? Since 1 nov, that’s 4 months :/ and the not eating?

depends on the temp but often a dehydrated mantis won't eat

She’s sprayed with a mister spray a minimum once a day and the humidity is kept 65-80%. She drinks from the droplets daily as I watch her so it would be very unlikely that she’s dehydrated?
