Lost leg

[meandmymantis]

My dead leaf has just lost a leg, what if anything should I do ?

Is there any fluid coming from the lost limb. A photo would be helpful.

No fluid as far as I can see

It will probably be OK. If it's an early instar it's possible that it will regenerate the lost limb. As long as it's mobile I'd say don't worry about it.

Only been mantising ? for 3 wks, it looks like he lost it whilst molting, found the skeleton on the substrate.
