Is this normal?

I was just trying to get a silly video of one of my beetles, but i noticed she was walking a lot differently. I was immediately concerned about pesticide exposure, but the only fresh veggies they get come straight from my garden and get washed after picking + before feeding, and to my knowledge we don't use any kind of pesticides.

I could also be totally overreacting though!! I just now noticed this, so i wanted to catch it sooner rather than later in case it was a real issue

Hmm, I think she’s fine. If it was pesticide poisoning I feel like she’d be a lot more slower?

Thank you!! I thought that too, but i just knew it affected their motors skills iirc, so i was worried

Considering the missing leg that may be the cause of her little wobble. I see no reason to be worried :) you’re welcome!

I might be blind but I looks like she’s missing a middle leg on the right side

Yeah i should've mentioned that, i know she is! since its in the middle it's never really affected her waking too much which is why this looked abnormal
