[QUOTE="MantisGirl13, post: 335077, member: 10807"] This sounds like black death, caused by bad feeders, usually crix. The vomit color can range from pale brown to dark black, and usually has an odor. If the nymph had been a bit bigger and stronger, it could have been saved by watered-down honey, which has antibiotic properties. Young nymphs do not usually pull through though. This can be prevented by feeding healthy insects, and making sure no mold is in the cage of the feeder or the mantis. It also could have been an injury during molting, but I find that less likely, as most molting injuries kill or cripple the mantis immediately. - MantisGirl13 [/QUOTE]
