Sextaplegic Mantis

One of my H. mem fell during molt and became deformed. I was going to feed him to a T, but showed my 10 YO daughter and she took him. Now she has him on tissue paper in a container and feeds him fruit flies each day. She calls him "warpie".

She knows it is futile but......

Awww..... bummer

A fall during molting is most certainly fatal.

Is it sad that this actually made me cry? I think its the kinda hopelessness of it and that he cant move it.

Please just put him out of his pain

This mantis molted once while deformed. My daughter continued to feed him for awhile and then lost interest and he died from neglect.

I had an egyptian mantis I found yesterday that was in basically the same position. I managed to pull her front leg free but she was bent. Fed her to a herp.
