In molts where a regenerated leg was observed, the size of the femur and tibia were measured on both the regenerated leg and the control leg. Femur and tibia length were then added together, and the size of the regenerated leg as a percentage of the length of the contralateral control leg was calculated. Autotomy-removed legs regrow earlier and are larger than coxa-cut legs.
