This is about the time of year when praying mantises pass on. It was her time, and did she lay an ootcheca (egg sac)? If she did, then you can look foreward to a bunch of babies next spring!

Eww...sounds like parasites to me...
But she lived to her full life expectancy, I think...it’s still kind of sad. So, no egg sac? no babies?
