Confirmation on Miomantis sex

[Emckenzie24]

Hello everyone, I've figured out the sex of all my other mantises (almost all of which, including the orchid male, are now adult in case anyone would like to breed?), but I just want to make sure I've got this miomantis right. From the segments in the pictures I got, I'd guess female? Thank you in advance!

Not so easy to tell from this pictures, but to me she looks a little too slim to be a lady.

Some species just have that cylindrical, long abdomen. One example is mantis religiosa, since it has a very elongated abdomen, but still has 6 segments.

I thought the same thing, and it was hard to tell how many segments she had, but I thought also the point of her bottom rather than the cup could indicate her being female.

Yes, that is a female.

Exactly, same as Polyspilota sp. as another example.

Thank you!
