Phrynus whitei sex???

[Cecropia1999]

Can anyone tell me the sex of my P. whitei?

It’s much easier to sex molts if you soften them and open the operculum, to look for gonopods.

Otherwise ventral sexing is much easier with the ventral of the living organism, because a molt can be distended and misshapen quite a bit.

This all being said, I would guess from the molt ventral that this is a male. Not nearly as accurate as the above methods though.

Male, but agree with what sarkhan said
