moving question

I'm moving this weekend so I need some advice on the best way to move a mantis. Originally I was planning on bagging her or putting her in a small container but she decided that less than a week before moving day was the perfect time to shed so I don't think putting her in a bag is an option anymore. I'm only moving 1/2 mile from where I am now so moving her won't take long at all.
 
If the animal molted three or four days ago, gentle handling can be tolerated. I like to use a "tupperware" plastic container with a tight fitting snap on lid. As long as you aren't too rough in the capture, things should be fine.
