No problem! Do you know an estimate of the molt in dls? It's helpful to know, not only for people trying to answer, but for people searching the galleries for references to know what their specimens spermathecae should look like at that size if it's female. Don't see many spermathecae pics for Poecis in general, but especially P. metallica.
