Male or female?

Acromantis formosana

can't see the abdomen too well, but i'd say female because o the rounded out segments. i have not kept this species, is the last segment like a spoon, or does it kind of curve down.

It's female

 

[Precarious]

If the abdomen overhangs the wings on both sides it's a female.

New pic. Anyone know how to tell?

 

[agent A]

i say female based on the wing shape

 

[ShieldMantid1997]

you need to show shots of the abdomen, from the bottom or side

So I'm assuming mine are males??

Looks like it.

With most mantids you shouldn't have any trouble telling gender on adults and in most cases don't even need to look at the abdomen. In these pics the first one is a female and the others are males. See my guide which is pinned above.

He meant Mike's are males. Yours is clearly a female.

Mimie Yours is 100% female. Mantid mike, both of yours are males.
