Hello there everyone ! Recently, my juv giant asian mantis is getting paler in colour and is quite lethargic. He wasn't as energetic as he used to be and this is worrying me as I'm afraid that he might not be able to catch prey and starve. Can any of you identify what happened to him ?
Regards, Bryan

The mantis might be molting

You can tong feed your mantis prekilled food. Also honey or honey mixed with water will be happily taken if you offer it.

Here's my L6 Rhombodera basalis having some organic honey a couple of days after moulting.
