Thank u so much for the info Chunxingwong..:-) I learnt many new things about mantises from that link...!
Yes normally the males are smaller in size than the females but there is always exceptional. There are other ways to determine their gender - http://www.keepinginsects.com/praying-mantis/distinguishing-males-and-females/
Yes Chunxingwong.. I also think so.. Feamle mantis are larger in size than Male right?
Smile and eyes too! It's a great snap. By the way, your profile picture looks good too. Just saying.
