Mantis claw

This would be the second time my mantis have molted since I obtained her earlier this year.

The previous molt was buried deep inside her den so I wasnt able to retrieve it. This time around she decided to kick one of her claw molts out of the den like a piece of garbage!

If you are used to seeing the mantis punching around, it's hard to imagine the underneath the puncher there is a razer sharp blade that even not on the mantis, must be handled with respect.

This is what the claw normally look like, with the razer closed in a beater shape

And here is the post molting mantis stalking my movement
