It does look like a female. I have 3 fresh adult males (with the green side lines). So can drop off on way home, one night next week.

The reason I said male is because of the shiny wings. I know this works for sexing in most mantids I could be wrong though.

Please explain how "shiny wings" is a valid method for determining gender in most mantids?

I retract my statement. I can not find enough information to back up my claim. If I find the place I read this in I will post a link.
