Hi guys, recently my adult female spiny flower mantis (molted 2 weeks ago), Emilii, has been acting very anxiously and defensively. I'd find her pacing around her enclosure and sometimes desperately trying to climb up. This had led to fall a couple of times before righting herself back up. As of yesterday I noticed a pulsating white/light blue mass coming out of her rear. At first I thought it might've been the ootheca substance; however, today I noticed her abdomen has shrunk considerably as her wings are more visible from the bottom. She's also not eating as she's let a few flies pass by her. I only feed her flies that I rinse a bit with distilled water to wash off any possible filth.
Update: I went to check on her and she was eating a fly!
