[QUOTE="lancaster1313, post: 176008, member: 4001"] With a few molts to go, you still have a chance to have a perfect appearing mantis. How long has it been since the last molt? Sometimes just hanging for a couple of days, can straighten legs, if they are not completely hardened. Meddling can make things worse, if the mantis struggles and becomes stressed. I have a mantis who lost half a rear leg, had the other rear one bent back, and one of the center legs was also bent back. He also had a bent foreleg. Now he appears perfect except he has a slightly shortened rear leg. I left him alone except for a little help with feeding that he didn't need as he caught prey just fine on his own. :) [/QUOTE]
