Why is my Devil’s flower mantis not catching food?

Why is my Devil’s flower mantis not catching food? It’s a L3 and just molted and I read that they have to be fed every 2 days. Should I hand feed?

Don’t tell me you got a devils flower as your first mantis...

To answer your question, feed your mantis when it is thin. What are you feeding it?

If it just molted, it might not be ready to eat yet.

Is this your first mantis? What are you feeding it?

Oh gosh this is why people need to do research first. DONT get a devils flower as ur first mantis. It's an expert level mantis and it is near impossible to keep alive for beginners. @Adub
