Normaly they stop eating for a few days before they are about to do it and when they are ready they will stay in the same place and wriggle a bit to help break the skin

Kind of curious if the mantis decides to so at some extends or the nature does it all completely?

all to do with hormones, the mantis just endures the process, cannot choose when to do it

thanks randy

you are saying it's taking all by the chemical which make perfect sense, however, would that be possible by some sorts of physical? like I will be sleepy when I visit the States at first few days then ajust to it, the biological clock or something? likewise the temperature, humidity, the human interfere, or even atmosphereric pressure. Am I going to far away? sorry!
