Male orchid mantises have 8 abdominal segments while females have 6. In my opinion though, your mantis is too small to determine the sex at the moment. By the time it hits L4 it will be easy to determine the sex, as this is the stage where necklace color (brown for males, green for females) and the crown starts to develop (females develop pointy, green crowns while males lack one).
As he said, to small.
