"Heat stroke" with mantis!

Ralph

Panchlora
One of my L8 Tenodera nymphs was found mostly unmoving on the floor of her container about an hour ago. I gave her some water, set her on the lid, and put the container in the shade. She's not close to molting and was in full sun. Is it possible for them to recover. She responds sluggishly if at all, moving legs (especially the front legs) to touch.

 
She died shortly after. I thought it strange that although others were in the same light, they weren't affected in the same way.
