Brought Xenesthis sp blue today at Expo as sexed female. I'm not 100% sure it is a female. I'm including different stills from the video I took. Some angles looks like it could be a female, some angles I think it looks male. Please could you help me clear this up? Is it 100% male?
Thank you for your reply. I think I'll contact the organiser of the Expo as the vender didn't have a website. Do you know if this Is this the sort of thing that scammers walk away with money from?
Was I stupid for buying from a non-shop vender? The other sexed females I brought were all from venders with websites and as far as I can tell these are all female.

I'd wait until you get a molt so you know for sure. Also, people do make mistakes sometimes. If you find out it's for sure a male, then maybe you can work something out with them.
Thank you for replying. I really appreciate your input. I thought I saw a darker colour patch and thought it might be undeniable signs of male like with the stirmi, so I was concerned. I'll check the molt as spideyspinneret78recommended (hopefully this will resolve my question). There's still hope!
Please can I ask - would you recommend getting a receipt for Expo purchases (this is my first Expo so apart from researching on here that I needed a bag - I did, and to research prices before hand - this helped hugely I don't recall reading about receipts)? I only got a single receipt from my purchases (not for this spider) if something goes wrong does it help having a receipt or if it's a scammer will it make no difference?

Thank you for your response I don't think this vender was a shop as such. I asked if they have a website or a way of contacting them to ask if they will be doing further Expos but they said they didn't. The other venders I brought from all gave me their cards but only one of them gave a receipt. I'll again take your advice onboard and at least ask if I can have a receipt going forward. I'll also make sure what their policy is re sexing issues. Thank you again for your advice.
