I see spermathecae, so I'm going with female.

@VanessaS thanks for the tip on tagging. Thanks so much for confirming spermathecae. This is my first time actually spotting what I'm looking for, so it's exciting for me. I wouldn't have spotted if not for @Ungoliant. I needed light from underneath to spot it myself.

@s0n1cs3v3n Backlighting makes the world of difference. Especially in species who have large uterus externus that block the spermathecae. Young female spermathecae are very transparent, and difficult to see, and a large uterus externus can block them completely.
