I've found a mantis religiosa female (looks like a pre-sub) with a madly mismolted back right leg. I'm afraid that it will affect her future molts in the condition it is in, but I've never encountered this problem before. My question is: "Should I leave it be and hope It'll turn out fine, or should I do a manual amputation of the leg, at the bend, to increase her chances of survival?"
