Btw how long does it usually take u guys mantises wings to fully spread out?

I had to help it btw. It molted so close to the glass that it couldnt get back up the branch because the glass was too slippery for its claws since it just molted. So I put my hand next to it and it was able to pop its abdomen out of the molt skin. Its a boy btw.

My giant asian shield mantis has been subadult for over 2 months now. Its wingbuds have bit thin for a while. However, as I have noticed with previous mantises I have had, when the wingbuds get swollen and have a blotchiness to them it will molt within a week and guess what my mantis is doing...
