What are you guys seeing that make you believe it's female? I thought the book lungs looked pretty spaced out and thought i saw that epigynal fold in the molt...but I'm new to sexing Ts so Idk...

I guessed female also when I saw her on her back. That furrow was very pronounced.

However, the picture of the molt confirmed my assumptions when I saw her spermathecae and uterus externus.

Pay close attention to what's in between the anterior set of book lungs. The lighter brown stripe closer to the top of the picture looks to be the uterus externus. The upside down arches below that, with the outline of a rounded-out W are the spermathecae.
