hi all,
so this is my freshly molted ornata. as it always chews up its molts, there has been nothing to sex it from so far. i bought it as a 2nd instar, now it's 4.5-5" legspan! and i still havn't been able to sex it.
the colours are very dark, even remind me a bit of rufilata, and the markings are very sharp, indicating a female... i just don't know what to make of this specimen. so help, anyone?
i tried very hard but just couldn't get a good ventral shot with my crappy cam. so here the best pics i could get:
