    What’s wrong with my mantis

    It could be a molting phase. (I’m guessing it’s a pre sub male?) he/she could molt soon.

    How long to wait for a response....

    Sorry about your issue you’ve been having.  If a mantis is missing a limb, the limb will slowly grow back after each molt. I’ve had a few mantises that had a bad molt and lost limbs in the past. Mine regrow their limbs but it didn’t grow the way it should. (Short limbs or crooked, and were...

    Dragon Mantis article

    I think I might plan a trip to Brazil now. I have heard of that species before. Super cool looking and there’s nothing really like it.

    Tape saved my mantis!

    I recommend scotch tape. I used masking tape and my mantis got stuck, im pretty sure if i used scotch tape it would have been easier (aslo easier for a mantis to unstick itself). Also a small tiny strip of tape would be better, a larger piece of tape just raises the odds of a mantis getting stuck.
