My new Mantis

[overflowin]

i got this mantis on saturday at a local frag swap...just wondering if the experts here could confirm or deny that it is a G. Smithii and if it was possible to sex it from this image.

if it can't be told for sure what the sex is, what is the best way to derermine sex...

thanks

O.K., sorry, the image was below where I was looking. This is definitely not Gonodactylus smithii.
