Hello, I was looking for info/other threads about Hyllus sexing, but I couldn't find anything so I figured it would be better to start one.
As we know, sexual dimorphism in jumping spiders has its relevant evidence, especially in regards to precise species (like Phidippus regius, the most known) where we're able to have a clue of the sex starting from the first few moults.
So my question is, do any of you perhaps have the ability to tell apart the two H.diardi (or the general Hyllus genus) sexes relying on colours or specific features of young specimens?

Turn dark premolt FH 5. That's it, they are both equally long legged in FH 4.

So is P. regius. Which makes me curious what sexting techniques "we" know in juvenile stages.

The only one comming to my mind is the chelizera with a chance of 50/50. So does guessing. 50/50.
