Black markings on Harlquin Flower Beetle Changing/shrinking

Hi. I ordered a harlequin flower beetle from bugs in cyber space. I've had her for about a month now. My tank is humid though she tends to remain orange and black at all times. I also have provided a heating pad which should help with humidity. However, just a couple of days ago, I noticed some of her markings on the side of her, which are spots, are now shrinking in size. I've also found a few new markings that look like a "scratch" but are indeed a new marking. I know they will change color when more humid, but that's usually the orange. Her spots are literally shrinking. She also doesn't fly as much as she used to and is a lot more clumsy to. She still eats just fine. She prefers banana but I also provide jelly cups and some times other fruits like cucumber and melon. She also lives with a rice beetle (dyscinetus morator)

Is this normal? I'm just a little worried. Just last week she was flying around like a carpenter bee, now she's completely different, like shes been replaced.

Thanks for any help!

Really have no idea on this one. The "scratches" could be from her trying to hide under something heavy in the enclosure shes in. I've had this happen in the past.
