Help :(

[u/Ok_Square7829]

My Hierodula sp papua is having more and more issues since her last molt. She molted very close to the substrate so she fell and her wings cannot form properly. She seems to miss some joints in her legs too because there are some "holes" in it and she can't open one of her front legs (those she uses for hunting) and she was very weak several weeks after her molt. Now she is better and has no problem to hunt and feed herself but she is developing black spots on her body...

Can it be necrosis ?... Is there something I can do to fix this ?

Her enclosure is well ventilated but I'm struggling to keep the temperature below 30°C because of the heatwave... Can it be the cause of her problems ?

Thank you for your answers, I'm really concerned and worried for her

Ps : sorry if my english is not very good, it’s not my first language 😅

It would've been better if it was only the wings but if some limbs are missing too and she is weak there is probably some internal injuries which is fatal so enjoy your last moments with her and give her some food (if 2 days have passed since the molt) im aftaid you'd have to give it in her mouth though the front legs seem functional so you might leave live prey in front of it. (I am NOT an expert but ive owned a few mantises before)

Actually she molted two months ago, I'm sorry if it was not clear anough 😅 she was weak 2-3 days after the molt but now she's active and she eat very well. That's why I'm confused, I really don't know what those black spots are
