This was due to a bad molt. It was left in a container that did not provide enough room. It eats normally, however, physical activities are affected by outcome of molt. Seems a little visually impaired. Accuracy of capturing prey have decreased by 30-40% Notice the hind legs are deformed and curved.
"I'm a HUNCHBACK!!"
Notice the back of this hunchback mantis is curved downwards, it cannot look upwards. It reminds me of the hunchback in the movie '300'.
Here is an image of a normal mantis. Noticed the back of the mantis is straight compared to the hunchback mantis.
Do you think it will be normal again after its' next molt?
