Hottentotta hottentotta male

[Michiel]

Preserve it, dissect it, if you find no spermatophore, it is a female, if you do, it is a male.....Come on people it's not rocket science...The parthenogenetic population consists of females that give birth to only females. The sexual population: pectinecounts OVERLAP in males and females and the males have more bulbous chela and have pedipalpal fingers more flexed....I recently discarded most of my preserved African stuff, otherwise I could have posted some comparison pics.

Let us know what your study yields, blackprizm!

Either way its a lovely specimen!

now to get another one and try to mate it, always the best way to tell if something is male

Will be getting some Hottentottas myself soon, CANT WAIT, one of the most entertaining genera around!

Nice! Be sure to take care of them!

But first I have to make sure that they should accept my proposal.
