Has anyone had a mantis molt right after eating?

Also sorry for the bad quality this was 11:30 at night.

Yep, they'll eat right afterwards too if it's anything like my little orchid. He's a real pig too.

Is that normal? It says on many care sites that they will abruptly stop eating before molting. Who knows we could just be special.

@MrGhostMantis, I really couldn't say. I've only ever had one Mantis. But that's been my experience too.

@MrGhostMantis, The mantids do not read those care guides, so this one may just have different opinions on what defines proper mantis behavior.

lol, ikr. Hes sassy and is scared of his prey.
