yesterday I noticed that my mantis had started to keep her antenae in a lowered position. Does anybody know if this is somewhat normal behavior? This is my first time raising a mantis and it is also the first time I've ever noticed her antenae in the down position for a long period of time. Any help on this will be greatly appreciated. Thanks

No, I think she just came out of her 3rd molt right before I got her.

Some of my mantids seem to do that before molting.
