Do Crickets Legs Grow Back. I noticed one of my 50 or so house cricket nymphs is missing a back leg. I highly recommend not conducting.
Generally insects in this group have enlarged hind legs except mole crickets adapted for jumping. Does anyone know if the leg will regenerate after the next few moltings or will the cricket be missing the leg for the rest of it s life. If they lost a leg during the juvenile stage they would molt and a smaller stub would be in its place.
This process is called autotomy.
Of the many creatures that do grow back body parts humans despite being the rulers of earth cannot regenerate lost appendages. Does anyone know if the leg will regenerate after the next few moltings or will the cricket be missing the leg for the rest of it s life. They go through many molts before they reach adulthood. Cricket legs don t grow back but they can live without is it just cant jump.
