It's been a while. At the end of my previous post I mentioned I got myself a new Giant Dead Leaf Praying Mantis, but I haven't been able to come up with a good name for it. And in the time that's taken the insect has molted a few times. So now, since the leaf shaped prothorax of this species comes out differently between genders, I was wondering if someone here with more experience than me can discern my Mantis's Gender.
I took a few pictures, but those were apparently too big to fit so here's that. Knowing that will make naming my quiet little bug easier. It's behavior isn't quite like that of the Hierodula Mantises I had years ago. Unlike them it appears to be scared of Meal Worms.
