Scorpion111 beat me to it. Looks like a female. I had a male reach maturity (cute little guy) but my female died a few weeks after some molt complications. I would have liked to try breeding.

Your call. Mantids don't live very long, so unless you breed them . . .
I just don't want to deal with the hassle of a few hundred cannibalistic babies.

Yeah, that's my main concern. They're cool but don't live long and it's not easy to house the siblings. Plus I'll need fruitflies...
