Madison molted on the 19th. Sorry I haven't been posting but have had a stomach bug. Also, Reagan appears to be sick. At first I thought she was just not eating because she was getting ready to molt, but no molt yet and she appears to be weak. She falls and will lay on the bottom of her tank or just hang motionless and stiff on her stick. She has the  look of a mantis that they get before they die, so she might not make it. My experience is I have never lost a young mantis, only lost them of old age so not sure what is wrong with her. I have kept her tank misted to encourage molting and today I got her to nibble on some fruit, hoping it would pep her up a bit, but so far no luck. We shall see what happens. Everyone else is doing great, when I am feeling a bit better I will take some more pics, still need to share the new Kennedy with you all.
