I see something, two structures and something in the middle of them. If its male or female i don't know. They seem very small, but the spider is also small
I love how right after I sexed my G. pulchripes as male due to there not being a flap, I suddenly see all these pictures in the gallery of molts with no flap and people saying female.
At such a small size flaps are pretty hard to make as are spermatheca. The extra bright light washes out a lot of the features in the photo too. I used to run my LED flashlight through a moist paper towel to defuse the light and help the features stand out more.
Now with the USB microscope I can change the the light level and zoom in much closer to spot sex organs earlier. Without it I had to wait till the Ts were bigger for the spermatheca and flap to be easily seen.
