She's a nymph, and she got a lot bigger. I don't know if I interrupted her molt but she's moving and she didn't eat the crickets I tried feeding her at first but now there's nothing left but cricket legs in her terrarium. I kept the humidity up and tried feeding her. I don't know what a mantis looks like when it's molting (nor when the process of molting it interrupted). All I know is that Mandy (my Carolina mantis) is bigger and theirs no exoskeleton!

A baby praying mantis, also known as a nymph, typically sheds its exoskeleton around 5 to 10 times before reaching adulthood. This process, called molting, allows the mantis to grow, as its exoskeleton does not expand. The exact number of molts can vary depending on the species and environmental conditions.
