I woke up this morning to find that my female giant asian mantid had molted but something is wrong, she is alive and appears to be doing well, she's almost out of her molt. The problem is her wings didn't form ??? they're still buds and this is her adult molt, one set is sticking to her side what can i do?? i was planning on breeding her should i still try?? she's 9 months this is her final molt i don't know what to do

She'll inflate her wings don't worry.

thank you so much! this is my first set of mantids so it's been a big learning experience
should i do anything when it comes to humidity or temperature to help?
No. Just leave her be. She'll stay upside down and inflate her wings.
