Ack! It's a male?!

Er...can you be more specific than that? All the evidence show that it's an immature male.

First foto shows it is female.

I will try to take pics of the undersides of my 4 mature females when I get home tonight.

Is the look of the underside more important than the actual exuvia showing NO spermathecae? Didn't someone else have a T which was sexed female via underside pics and turned out to be female after moulting? Hmmm...I always though the exuvia would be conclusive.

jw73, quit being ambiguous. If you can't give me evidence that it's a female then say so. Again, what exactly makes you think so? Lack of epiandrous fusillae, size and shape of epigyneal plate, shape of rump, look of the eyes, presence of nipples??

Size and shape of epigastric furrow.

Cool thanks!

So I guess even after getting a moult, I'm still unsure about it's sex. :? :? :? :wall: :wall:

Oh well...
