Just discovered one of my adult female dubias looking ill with one of her wing stubs filled with fluid? Does anyone know what this is and what would cause it? Thank you.

She looks odd all-around. The mottled color on the pronotum and around the abdomen is weird. I'd incinerate her ASAP. If what she has is contagious, you could lose your whole colony.

My best guess is something fungal or bacterial. Do you have good ventilation in your bin?
