I once had seven legged Sungaya inexpectata (one of its front legs was splited for two on its base, it looked like "Y" letter). So many strange things can happen.I can think of no reason, including mutation, why a late instar mantis would suddenly develop one unusually long leg
Sometimes out of the blue you will get a mismolt no matter how well you have things set up.Iv'e managed to remove it, it was a old leg still overlapped the new one, i grabbed the end and it managed to pull it off, the leg isn't fully functional but it is managing to catch prey still. Dont know why it struggled to molt iv'e got everything setup good, with temp and humi good and plenty of height!? Do they sometimes just struggle with shreadding reguardless of condition?
