[QUOTE="Krissim Klaw, post: 305496, member: 1492"] Yep the wing buds become more noticeable the larger the mantis gets. The wingbuds are very pronounced in the last couple if instars for Carolina mantises so simply seeing them does not mean the mantis is a sub adult. If you aren't familiar with the species the only way you can use the wing buds to judge if the mantis is a sub adult is by the fact the wing buds will get very plump as sub adult mantises get closer to their molt.
