Hey Guys
So i put together a setup based on previous threads and vids etc about how to properly moult sex a juvenile T, and I've managed (I think) to get some pretty decent photos
I know need help understanding what it is i'm actually looking at, as people always remark on 'once you've looked at a few you'll know what you're looking at'. This is the first time i've looked at moults at this magnification so would like some help figuring it out
I've included ventral shots as well just for comparison. It is an L parahybana that is 12cm in legspan
Shot 1
Closer
Question?
Ventrals for interest
For those interested in perhaps reproducing such images (if they're any good) without a microscope of any kind the setup is as follows
Small clear plastic box with a small handheld mirror inside to reflect desk lamp in order to underlight
Camera with extension tubes and a front mounted 10x lens (both really cheap camera accessories
et voila
Thanks for the education guys
