Hisser sexing pictures

BrianWI · Apr 7, 2009

Somewhere online I saw pictures of the underside of hissers showing the differences in them. Anyone know where that was?

There's no need to look at their underside. Males have "horns" on their pronota, whereas females do not.

Its not for sexing for breeding, its the information itself I need, the pictures. Found them maybe a year ago, cannot relocate.

If you insist on ventral sexing, the female should have a wider terminal segment than the males.
