Male or female Pseudocreobotra wahlbergii

[Djoul]

Hello guys,

Here you can find the difference between male and female for pseudocreobotra wahlbergii, so beautiful mantis :wink:

The identification is very easy with the existence of the foliaceous outgrowths.

Male :

We can see that the male has always one more outgrowth than the female.

Female :

This pictures are from Damien, an other french member.

You can moove, or include this subject to the main subject "Male or Female"

bye :wink:

Hi!

Do both sexes have wings or you can identify sex from this picture?

Both sex's hav wings, my guess is that it is a female but really u need a better pic, so dont take my word for it

 

[OGIGA]

I think we need to see the underside.

What about the antennas... I think I've read somewhere that male and female has different antennas ?

 

[Morpheus uk]

Males have thicker and longer ones, although you`ll have to compare both sexes to notice

Yep that's a female. You can tell, by whether or not the stomach is wider than the wings. (Some males have it also, but not as much.)

Hey!

Thanks for all answers - mantid from picture is really a female. I have a male too, but I don't know if he needs 1 or 2 molts to be adult?

Here is the picture:

I'm sorry for bad picture, but he is very angry when I touch his abdomen
