Hi, 

My giant Asian mantis is at their 4th or 5th instar and molted just this past Sunday (they previously molted the sun/mon before that too). I noticed that they really like to hang from their fake flower when they are molting and that's something that they are currently doing right now. We've been having a heat wave where I live but also some storms...which can leave some humidity in the air. My question is: is possible for Momo (my mantis) to already be in the process of molting again? I wanted to respray their enclosure cuz it was looking a lil dry but now I'm worried about opening the lid.

 
Mantids prefer to hang, so its probably just hanging out on the flower. Don't worry. 

Also, make sure there is ample room around the porch for molting!
