Some questions about my male budwing mantis

[Kris02]

Hi!

My budwing mantis just molted last night and now he has his big, mature wings (I didnt even realize he was a boy haha). Does this mean that he won't be molting anymore? I got him back in February but I lost count of how many molts he has had. Another question, how much time he has left in his life span? 

Considering how I thought he was a female until this morning, I am a little worried that the second i open his enclosure he'll fly into my face or something, are they really active fliers?

No more molts, probably 2-4 months, don’t touch him yet he hasn’t fully dried after the molt, no he won’t just fly into your face. He probably won’t try to fly for a few weeks.
