hi
i have had these pics up for a while with no response,but i have been told by 2 people its female,i was just going to see if some one else could agree with that.

sorry for the Really bad Pics,its a really old camera.

Thanks

Male.

Seriously though, you need better pics. I don't think it's a problem of your camera being too old, it's just out of focus. You probably need to enable macro mode. Push the flower! Use the flower power!

Dang.

iv never used a camera before,and i had to barrow that one.

thats 2 for female 1 for male. i'll try to take some better pics

I would also suggest a clearer picture if you can get one.

It is much easier to examine the exuvium for the spermateche

I see nothing that suggests male in those pics. Try to take a clear picture from farther away, that will be more useful then a close out of focus picture.

Smithi are one of the easiest species to sex ventrally imo.
And for the record it is spelled spermathecae.

i'm sure you've heard before. Better pictures will lead you to your answer.

When you do get the camera again, use the macro mode (usually a flower icon). Up close pictures come out clearer that way.

Now I am on board with it male. Those first pictures were so bad I had no clue but the second ones are much better.
