male or female?

Looks like a female to me. I just want to make sure.  Thanks!!

Looks like a female to me too but I'm by no means an expert.

neither am I. I do hope we're right though, females live longer I think.

Definitely female.

Older instar males have a longer, thinner abdomen with a rounded end. Older instar females generally have a wider abdomen that ends in a point.

cool! My teacher really wanted a class pet for some reason and I gave her that mantis. She wanted a big mantis so this might do lol.
