Ok and how long will my mantis live now since it is a male? Don’t they live shorter than females after the final molt? How long do males and females live after their final molt?

When you measure an adult mantis do you measure it including how long the wings are? Its kind of hard to measure just its body and abdomen as the wings are covering it and its hard to tell...

I put mine in resin to remember them forever.

Wait so did he molt or something was that the surprise? 

Basalis. Now can you answer my questions that i posted above?
