quote from mantiskingdom caresheet

Appearance: It has the classic mantis appearance. The adults color ranges from bright green to brown. They have long usable wings as adults and grow to be about 4-5 inches with the females being larger.

so if your is just over 2 inches then i'd guess you may have received the wrong type of mantis but pics will certainly help, if its wrong type people here could probably tell you what you do have

yeah ill get a foto of all my speicies i have. so you can see the other "two" i keep banging on about.

also if they are stunted, do the mantids produce a full size ooth, or just a smaller ooth will allot less eggs where the mantids could be normal size?
