regrowing limbs

[sk8erkho]

Do mantids regrow limbs lost in fights, bad molts and so on? Or if they suffer a break does it heal in time or is that it for the injured or lost limb or entire leg or arm?

 

[OGIGA]

If they aren't adults yet, they will regrow limbs after molting. It may take a couple of molts before they look normal again.

it should grow back next moult, but may not be completely functional or a bit dodgy.

Not going to grow back in one molt. Usually two or three. If the mantis only has a couple molts left the new leg may not be the full size.
