This guy has 3 antennae! He just shed and all 3 are still there! Perhaps too much inbreeding? PS. I am faded a.k.a. drunk =)

 
sometimes people get an extra toe or nipple and its not cause of inbreeding - do you have any siblings? and do they have 3 aswell?

 
I have had one mantis who had a antenna grow from the back end but this was a rare occurance

I remember that discussion, Paul! Wasn't the concensus that the "extra" antenna was from the old skin and had gotten stuck to the mantid's new skin while it was moulting? Did it ever molt again?

 
no the mantis that had the extra antenna died because it could not relief itself and my guess it died of backup of waste in its body

 
I know you too well... That is obviously a straight pin stuck in his head!

Very cruel! :angry:
