P. striata

Propably female
I think male? I'm still bad at this... and here I thought Poecis were supposed to be the easy ones to sex :shifty:
 
@EdieW I'm pretty sure I do, unless I'm looking at the wrong thing. But like I said, I'm not the best at ventral sexing, and there are plenty of others who could probably give you an answer within 95% accuracy.
 
I have to say I was also leaning towards male. The picture is a bit blurry though, so it's hard to tell. How big is the t?
 
@EdieW By molt 5, you mean it's only molted 5 times in it's life? So no more than like 2 inches if I had to guess? If that's the case, it'll be a bit tricky to make an educated guess at that size. You might be better off waiting for it to grow a bit. And it's not that I'm seeing a dot, but in between the booklungs, there appears to be a much smaller, more distinct "U" shape than the larger and wider shape you'do see on a female. But again, the smaller the spider, the harder it is to be sure. You could very well have a female, it might just be too small to tell
