Omothymus violaceopes M/F?
5.5 to 6 in sold as female by a very trustworthy vendor and from what I can tell by looking at other pictures it looks female but can someone help me out and confirm. I hear this is an easier species to sex this way. Thanks everyone :)
Thats what I was thinking but wasnt sure at what size the males colors started fading. I just read that they change to that olive brownish color on their penultimate molt. Other than the color verifying, do you think the curve and that slight opening of the epiandrous fusillae is also a strong indicator,of female? Thanks for your input :)
 
Just the coloration is telling me female, males tend to be duller in color. Also FYI, these are in the Omothymus genus now:)
