A baby praying mantis, also known as a nymph, typically sheds its exoskeleton around 5 to 10 times before reaching adulthood. This process, called molting, allows the mantis to grow, as its exoskeleton does not expand. The exact number of molts can vary depending on the species and environmental conditions.
