For the spinys, I need clearer pics of the end of the abdomen (side view pls). For the others, I agree with everyone else. Boots and Pants are male, Leafy is female. I think that Buggy is female, but I need a clearer pic.

Any better? If not I’ll have to get some new pics that’s the clearest I have. Pics show progress since arrival

Pictures from the rear would be better, Not directly normal to its back, but a bit off to the side. The parallax and proportion makes this so difficult in spinys.

Ya, those pics are still a bit blurry. I think the gray and black one is male. I can't tell with the all black one, but the last one might be a female.

I’ll see about getting some better pics today (morning choring is calling lol) those 3 are all Buggy. The first one is right before her molt (18 days after arrival) the second is directly after molt, and the bottom third is from a few days ago. Hoping for a molt soon?

Ok! If they are all the same mantis, then I definitely need a clearer picture!
