Ralph Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 One of my hatchling Chinese mantids seemed listless today. He collapsed around 2:00, so I managed to get him to hold onto some netting upside-down. His abdomen is pulsating, but there is little movement otherwise. He's a day over a week old, so I suspect that this is a molting attempt.

Allpet Roaches Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 Sounds like it, if he doesn't make it through the molt in half an hour it's not going to complete the molt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
