Regenerating limbs

[ZIV]

Hi so I have a lot of ghost mantises or Phyllocrania paradoxa but one day I notest a l4 female lost her original leg in the old molt or shed and I was wondering if she will grow it back ever will she live.? Or will it grow back on her next molt?

@ZIV She will live, no issue of death from a missing leg. As long as she has the first segment in place (coxa (hip joint)) it should regrow. Typically in 2-3 molts it will be the best it will be, which is usually smaller but fully functional. At a L4 she should have it repaired right before adulthood.
