Hi there my sons praying mantis is really small but growing fast(dunno what the terms L1/L2 and all that stuff mean)


The problem is that it has lost a leg and i was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this will grow back or not

It isnt a problem because its still fast when it wants to be,but i would just love to no the answer then i can tell him and it wont seem like dad hasnt got a clue ,

Thanks in advance andy.

the leg should grow back after a couple of moults, so it'll be ok.

phew,
I thought it should but wasnt sure and although its growing fast i havent seen a shed in there,
Thanks again.

L1, L2, etc, are just to denote which stage it's at in it's life cycle.

L1 is when they first hatched and then L2 is when theyve moulted once L3 when twice and so on and so on

Arh so thats how they do it,

thanks for that i just learned something today,
