Hey guys, my presub or subadult Popa is having a hard time moving around when I woke up this morning. She's dragging herself along the screen on the wall, and ler legs look like they're soft and can't support her. I dont see an exuviae and she doesn't seem any bigger so I don't think she molted, but she's soft as if she had. She's still fat from eating, but not as fat as a few days ago because she hasn't eaten. I think she's getting close to molt, but again I dont see an exuviae.

When I woke up she was stressed and trying to run around everywhere, but looked like she was having a hard time. I removed the cricket that was in her enclosure and she calmed, but still looks like she's having a hard time hanging on. I'm so worried about her :(

 
She mismolted... I found her on the ground half in her shell and half out. She was bleeding. I had to freeze her... R.I.P. Sudowoodo. One of my first 3 mantids... :(
