Is it illegal to kill a pray mantis?
No. It is not illegal to keep, kill, touch, collect, or in any way harm a praying mantis in the United States. They are not endangered, nor are they even that rare in most areas. In fact, the Praying mantis found in much of the United States is actually an invasive species from Europe introduced in 1899. There is a common Old Wives Tale that the praying mantis is protected and cannot be killed, but this is not true. The only occasion in which it would be illegal to catch or kill a mantis is in a National Park or other protected land where all the wildlife is protected.

When your praying mantis was shedding his skin his arms and legs were bent what can you do?
It depends on how bad its bent. If its so bad that it cant walk then cut it off at the part it starts bending and it will be better off without it. The front legs is something it needs though so don't cut it off. It wont be able to catch a lot of things so if you want to feed it give it a small cricket with its back legs cut off so it cant escape, or you can hand feed it cat food or some insect you just killed. The legs will grow back if it doesn't have wings yet but it wont be as long as it was before..
