What is the difference between a praying mantis and praying mantid?
Praying mantis start out their life as tiny, wingless versions of their future selves. They are referred to as nymphs. After several molts (when they shed their exoskeleton), they develop their wings and grow larger. They change very little from their nymph stages to their adult stages.
Would praying mantis take bites from silver-beet leaves or young green leaves of lemon trees?
We watched a Praying Mantis consume almost all of the leaves of our dwarf Citrus Tree, orange. Almost no leaves are left. Upon our research, we found that they will take control over a tree from other Praying Mantis. We watched the Praying Mantis from a baby to shed it shell, grow larger and then turn from green to brown. We now have many Praying Mantis in our yard, but they do not seem to consume the leaves as this first Praying Mantis. We do not know why. We have seen one very large belly Praying Mantis, I wonder if this one is pregnant, some very small babies and now some medium size Green Praying Mantis in the yard this year. They are timid and do not appreciate being moved from tree to tree, as this takes them away from the Tree or bush they have adopted as their own. We understand that some Praying Mantis will protect their adopted tree or bush, correct? Anyways, all is well now with the Citrus Trees. When we had a Patio Cover in the yard and grew vegetables around the Patio Cover, they would eat these leaves also. You could watch them consume a large leaf a day. Has anyone else had these experiences? Canyon Country, CA
Your ant praying mantis does not eat what do you do?
well if it is not an adult it might be getting ready to molt (shed skin)so take out all food as the live food may eat the mantis during molt. if its an adult it might be getting ready to lay eggs or it might be dieing
When will a praying mantis nymph become an adult?
Usually after they have shed their skin 6 or 7 times. It varies from species to species and mantid to mantid so it's hard to set an actual time frame.
How many times does a baby prey mantis shed its exo skeleton before it becomes an adult?
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. After the final molt, the mantis becomes an adult and is capable of reproduction.
When praying mantises shed their skin will they die?
I can answer this, it happened to me before when I caught 2 Praying Mantis in a glass jar, this story might take awhile. I caught the 2 Praying Mantises and put them in a glass jar, put plastic wrap on the top and put the outside screw on thing on the jar, poked some holes at the top and let the jar sit in my garage for awhile. Like 1 or 2 weeks later, I found out one was gone, and the other one had left its skin in the jar and it was pretty white and that is how I know that Praying Mantis shed their skin.A:Yes they do. They shed clear yellow brownish exoskeletons. And afterwards they nearly double in size. And regarding to the first answer, the mantis probably didn't disappear but got eaten by the other one since it was left in a container for 1-2 weeks without food.A:Yes, mantises will shed their skins (exoskeleton) through out their lives...On average, they shed 7 times. You will see that they will not eat as much and also slow down 2-3 days before they shed. Then they will hang upside down and wiggle out of their shells. You will be surprised in the size difference!

Two cricket ate a praying mantis when she was trying to shed her skin?
That is not at all uncommon for the prey to turn the table on the predator. That is also a problem with feeding snakes live mice. The mice will bite the snake and it will die from an infection. I know of one snake that the mouse had begun eating its tail.
Can praying mantis grow a pincer back?
Praying Mantids can lose their limbs, especially in the process of incomplete metamorphosis. If the environment is too dry they can have trouble shedding their skin and can lose a limb in the process. If this happens, YES it is possible for a mantis to re grow the lost limb, but only the next time it moults. This means that if a mantis is a fully established adult, (if it has developed wings), it will NOT be able to re grow the lost limb.
How fast do Praying Mantis grow?
That depends on what species you have. I have raised Chinese mantids, and they usually hatch in the last week of May or first week of June. They molt into a new instar every couple of weeks, and they are mature by late August or early September. Between molts, they don't seem to grow very much, but after they shed their skin, they sometimes look as though they've grown 30% bigger overnight!
