Idolomantis diabolica molted to L7

[The Gex Files]

Today 2 of our females molted into L7 and they are huge

Here is a head-shot of one of them, it's female, right?

One of the L6 (male?), felt intimidated by them and started to threaten.

I like the fuzzy head on the first pic, so cute. I also always enjoy a good threat display. :lol:

Thanks for the replies!

We have bought 1 pair and a few unsexed ones. But the "pair" have the same antennas, so probably both females.

Is the one threatening a male? We hope so, otherwise we probably have no males....

They are funny when doing that, always makes me laugh! someone with better eyesite will tell u if male or female, if the antennas are the same as the others, it is girl. if thicker, boy.

Very nice! Mine don't do the threat display very often so I haven't been able to catch a pic yet.

The threatening one looks male to me. Get a closer head shot and we'll know for sure.
