As stated above, my thistle mantis lost one of it's front legs last week in a molt (Not a raptorial forearm). I suspected he might loose it as he was seemingly "limping" with that leg previously but it was still a surprise to see him completely loose it.
While I'm happy the little tripod made it through that molt ok, I'm a bit more worried about the next one, as he might not properly be able to hold on. He's currently housed in a dry 20x20x20 cm cube with plastic mesh on top and some twigs on the side of the enclosure as climbing branches for him and his food.
Anything I can do to increase his chances of making it?
