I believe they can regenerate the HIND 4 legs, but not the front claws. Maybe build a small robotic prostesis for him/her?
I had a mantis once with only one front claw and one antennea. He managed to live a long time (sure, living in a cage where you can have a second or third shot of snaggin' your prey probably helped.
SO, any news regarding the one you found?

I've had a S. lineola lose a front leg at about L4 and she grew it back but it was slightly smaller than the other one.
