Do spines on raptorial legs regenerate?

[Mantless]

If a mantis breaks one of his/her spines on the raptorial legs, do they regenerate the next molt?

I'd say so. Mantids can regrow entire limbs with a molt or two, so spines shouldn't be an issue.

Thanks I was always curious about that, I know the raptorial legs themselves don't grow back, but I never knew if the spines did.
