H. maculata: I speculate female but would like help being sure. Pictured exuvia is roughly 3.5cm diagonally.
Can't say one way or the other from this. It's not impossible to sex a molt that small, but you're going to need to examine it under stronger magnification. I use a little pocket microscope that does 60X-120X magnification, others have used a 30X or 40X jeweler's loupe effectively.
