I just got Blaptica dupia to start a feeder colony for my scorpions and tarantulas.I know how to sex mature adults. I know there is a way to sex nymphs by the size of its segments. I forgot how though, anyone wanna share the info with me again?

Thanks ahead of time.

Turn over a few nymphs, and look at the last segment, towards the butt. The males will have normal even spaced segments all the way down. The female is the same, except for the last segment which is twice the size of the male's. It's basically 2 segments fused together and is very easy to tell the difference.
