Looks like a male to me, dood! (at least, I *think* I see an extra segment in there!)

Jcal...I gotta' know...have you actually WATCHED Fantastic Planet or did you just happen to find that pic somewhere & liked it?

I have it on disc, and I know of NO ONE else that has ever even heard of it...that's why I'm curious!

 

[agent A]

Well it appears to have an ovipositor in the last pic

Unless its just the angle the pic was taken at

Either way it's one big mantis!!! Lol

 

[gripen]

It's the only thing the French done right!! J/k

I absolutely love the movie. I seen it once when I was young and feel in love with it. I had it on VHS in English that lost the tape.

I have been trying to find it in English on DVD but its not a easy task. Where did you find it? I have found the French (with English subtitles) DVD but I would rather the dubbed English version.

Great movie! Very trippy. I watch it sometimes on YouTube when I start having withdraws

She is a female!

 

[meaganelise9]

What?? That looks like a dude. Makes me wonder how clueless I am with my "guys." I always get 'em wrong! d'oh.

Nice mantis.

 

[jcal]

she is female. now i dont feel half as bad. i guess its still confusing for most.

my mistake was counting from the top

instead of underneath.

 

[agent A]

Ah ha!!! Lol too funny

Oh well that means a bigger adult lol

 

[meaganelise9]

Ohhhh. Jeez. What a difference. I guess I have a lot of re-counting to do. :lol:

 

[yen_saw]

Yeah a female.

 

[Chivalry]

Maybe the question is moot, but how early can you sex these guys and girls?
