Can a Praying Mantis be constipated? ?

Question

I no this sounds stupid but i think my pet praying mantis is constipated because she keep lifting her wings so there not on her body but there not spread out, can someone please tell me what to do!

Answer 1

Don't worry, it's highly unlikely.  

Answer 2

Its illegal o keep one as a pet and to step on one too! they're protected.

Answer 3

Lol why keep a praying manis as a pet? there insects. Every time i see one i step on one.

Answer 4

It's possible, but I don't see how her doing that would mean she is constipated. It could mean she is sick  in some other way, or maybe ready to lay eggs and looking for a mate.. Unfortunately there aren't many insect medications or veterinarians. Try asking an entomologist.
