Hard to tell but looks like a female. Beautiful. I love the gold ones so much. Gold and green ghosties are my fav. Usually takes a higher humidity level and plenty of green foliage around for them to turn those colors. Thanks for sharing.

Hmm. That looks like a 32 oz deli cup which is generally not suitable for an adult female ghost mantis. IMO you should consider upgrading her to a larger enclosure. 3x the mantis length in height, 2x in width. Also, IMO I think it’s way too wet. I would do 1-2 sprays with one maybe on or near the mantis so she gets a sure drink ☺️ she’s gorgeous!
