One of my idolos is rolling around on his back, rasping his arms outwards, occasionaly moving a leg out sluggishly and moving his palpy things franticly, whats could be goin on?

Maybe he fell on his back and is trying to get back up?

He might be trying to molt but couldn't split his exoskeleton so he's suffocating in the tight skin. I've seen a thread about it, lemme search around and see if I can find it.

Nevermind about the molting skin thing.

He died...

 

[robo mantis]

some times mantis deaths happen and we can't do a thing about it

sounds like he is having a nightmare. i get them too every now and then, especially after over-indulging myself on red meat. he'll be fine after he wakes up.
