All you've got to do is this:
look close at the side of the abdomen.
you will notice:
young females has a slightly longer and fatter abdomen, but you'll also see one single spine on the 3rd segment.
Males actually have a lot of spines everywhere on their (pretty thin but wide) abdomen.
i counted the segments( with a very good magnifying glass) for proof and it's true, males have multiple spines while females have just 2 on 1 segment.
