Hey epr0gress, I'd say female, but like I always say... wait for a molt for a 100% confirmation. How big is it?

looks very male from the top, but from the bottom Id say female without hesitation. I agree with Novak 100%..

It can't lol. Males don’t have any pattern distinction really on the carapace, for the most part it is one solid drab color. I am saying 100% female.

EDIT: URS those are some great pics! Congrats on the sac, hopefully it's a look into the future for me.

That is a great pic. My phone is decent, but not with macro shots. If I take a landscape picture with a person like this:

(using some kind of special effect)

And if I take a pic of a T, almost everytime it turns out dark, blurry, bright, or glared.. :mad: Like this..

It is a 2MP camera with flash though, so I can't complain.

Maybe it's just the lighting? Also, try taking the pic a bit further away since your cell has no macro.

Great pic of the P.regalis atropos, especially with a camera phone. :clap:
