Does anyone find that more or less feeding affect the rate of molting? I have heard some people say a restricted diet helps improve life-span, but from experience I know that captive mantises can also grown to much smaller adults. Also I was wondering if anyone had any insight as to the behavior of mantises in captivity. Are they more prone to "over-eating" if fed regularly? Should you keep feeding them even if their abdomen looks full?
Here's an article I found on the subject from a study done on caloric-restriction and life span in Rhesus monkeys: http://www.nature.com/ncomms/2014/140401/ncomms4557/full/ncomms4557.html
