[QUOTE="Graceface, post: 326822, member: 11024"] Yes, they will regenerate limbs. I think the OP is asking if there is a way to help encourage it, so they regrow faster, not whether they will regrow at all. I have mantids who regrew entire rear limbs back to normal size in 2 molts. Raptorial arms seem to be different. I've heard that raptorial arms will only regenerate to the joint where it was lost originally. However, I have a male ghost who lost an entire raptorial arm and has regrown a tiny version of it that doesn't seem to function. It's taken 3 or 4 molts to get to that point. He just molted again, and I need to inspect the arm's progress to see if it is larger or functional now at L6. [/QUOTE]
