Help! I found my sphodromantis gastrica this morning like this’ll the ground of her enclosure, she isn’t dead but almost doesn’t move and stays in this position like she is molding. Does anyone know what’s wrong and what I can do to help her? Thanks!

Does she appear alive? Maybe see if she can hang on a piece of womens nylon stocking upside down or some rough cloth or branch.
Yea she does appear alive, she still moves but struggles so much to stand, but she can’t hang, looks like she hasn’t the grip anymore...

 
If you think it might be a molt I would tap the back toes to something and hang her vertically. Make sure the place she is hanging has some humidity. Might also want to add a little extra heat to see if you can stimulate things.
