The shape of it's headpiece, or I call it a hat. The males have more crooked, tall, asymmetrical hats. Females have broad, less bent, more symmetrical hats.

Your little one looks more male, in my opinion. His hat seems tall, jagged and bendy  

Looking back, Ghosty looks male, too

 

[Mantis Lady]

Oh, no female, that is a bummer. The headpiece of Ghosty looks indeed like that of Spooky.. And the breeder where I order my mantids don't have female ghosts in stock. Ghosts are always fast sold.

 

[MantisGirl13]

Yeah, he is a male! I am sorry that Ghosty looks to be male too!

[Mantis Lady]

Too bad no female. but I will still love them. Or I need to go looking for a female by another breeder.

 

[MantisGirl13]

I hope you can find a female!

I made yesterday this pic of Aurene.

They came! The breeder messed up my order a bit, and only sent me four instead of six, but we are working on fixing the mistake. They are happy and healthy!

@MantisGirl13Good luck with the 4 nymphs. Hopefully he can fix the mistake nicely.

I am getting 2 yellow hierodulas this week both will be L4 so they can eat flies too but if I knew the fruitfly culture was almost empty, i would have ordered them too, oh well. Then I need to go to the petshop for a  fresh culture. The ghosts are still too small to get bigger food so i need to get fruitflies at pet shop. Wondering how the yellow hierodulas look real life.
