I don't think such a question can be answered easily. There are many variables that come into play.

Essentially this. There's so many factors that effect growth rate that it can be hard to give good estimates. Temperature and availibility of food are the strongest controlling factors.

Depends on the mantis and the conditions. Usually around 3 weeks.
