[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 200609, member: 3949"] How long ago did she molt? She still looks soft. It can take them a little bit to harden up, just like tarantulas. If all that was affected are her wings, she'll be okay. Be sure to provide a tall perch for future mantises to hang from. It should be at least twice as tall as the mantis is long. They molt hanging upside-down. That's my favorite mantis species, for what it's worth. Good luck with her. I got out of mantises because of the short lifespans, but they're the coolest critters around. [/QUOTE]
