Mantid problem

Ralph

Panchlora
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.

 
Sounds like it, if he doesn't make it through the molt in half an hour it's not going to complete the molt.
