[QUOTE="xxdreamchas3r913, post: 171768, member: 4365"] yea that was the first thing that i suspected when he started getting weird the container i put him in wasn't super duper clean i had kept it outside inside an empty tank and just rinsed and wiped it out a bit before i put him in there...it's not like i used any chemicals to clean it that might have killed him but it's possible that if it already had some kind of chemical on it, there were still traces left. after he started moving strange i washed out the container again. i used twigs and sticks from the same trees i always use for my mantids so i don't think it was that and i kept him with my other mantids in my room so the temps were pretty stable. if he was acting the way he was when i found him, i probably would have guessed it had to do with chemicals but from what rick and domanating said it seems like although its more rare, stress and shock can potentially kill mantids especially being he was wild caught and male. although i'm still kinda confused about what happened to him and his symptoms it makes alot of sense that he died from the sudden change of environment and being contained...it's really sad i've just never experienced this so i didn't know it could actually happen.
