Xenesthis sp Blue around 3"

Bummer, really wanted this one to be female. They are so hard to find these days. Thank you.
Yeah, it's a bummer. At 3", though, you should be able to identify the spermathecae fairly easily, and I don't see any indication of them. Here's link to a gallery of female spermathecae, including a pic of X. immanis female spermathecae (last one), and from what I've seen the X. sp. Blue are very similarly sized and shaped.
