Wide Armed had weird molt... and eventally died

[Ghost Mantis]

Last night, my Wide Armed nymph molted to sub adult. I witnessed a whole process from the beginning

First, you can see that she started to molt properly



Everything seem to be fine





And then the problem showed up. Her abdomen was turned to the side, not vertical as usual.



She stucked like that for more than 30 mins... She could not continue the process probably.



Of course, she died shortly after that. She fall during the molt. Nothing I can help . I prepared for the molt really carefully. Raising up the humidity, giving her drink every day. She looks really huge. I'm so sad .

Sorry to hear that... I hate mismolts.

 

[Ghost Mantis]

I hate mismolt too ... She is the biggest nymph I have. I witnessed her from the beginning until she died, but nothing I can do to help her out
