[QUOTE="Azziza22, post: 351187, member: 13612"] She looks fine, the only reason I've had to hand feed was when their front legs were damaged while molting. I'm not sure about orchids, but the other female mantises I've kept in the past rarely if ever fly because they're usually too heavy. I usually don't mess with them from the time they start their last molt until 2-3 days afterwards to make sure they have enough time to harden completely, it's really hard, but there's not much you can do once they start. I've had success intervening on occasion when they fall on the ground, but other than that I try not to disturb them (and possibly stress them) while they're molting. It sounds like you did all you could to help her out! As far as I can see from the pictures the only damage appears to be cosmetic. [/QUOTE]
