My Ghosts just molted for the second time since I got them and I was hoping to get a picture of the abdomen to see if anyone could tell if it was male or female. What I found is that it is really hard to take pictures of a mantis butt with a cell phone.

This is the best I could do. Can someone tell if it's male or female or is it too soon?

PS:

Anyone else see the skull on its back?

might be a male, if you can take a pic of the tip of the abdomen that would make it easier for others and I to identify. Also a pic of the crown could help to identify as well. (males tend to have a longer crown, females tend to have a shorted stubby crown) just to better verify the sex of the mantis. 

 
If you can just get a pic of the front of the face and crown I could tell you. From what I could tell it looked like a male but it’s not definite
