Cool! :) So that is what the females look like as adults. Have any of your males reached adulthood yet? And if so do you have any pic's?

 
Hi

No, the males are (pre)sub now. Terra-Typica has some nice pictures.

I will help with sexing. Don't worry, I will take pictures of mediums sized boys and girls tonight or tomorrow.

regards

 
Hi

Here are your pics, Yen.





Please note the ratio from the 6th to the 7th segment of the male: Both have the same size.

Now note the ratio from the 6th female's segment to the "nothing real" structure of the female: The 6th segment is much bigger than this "nothing real" structure. So both sexes do look like males.

regards,

tier

Tier you missed the first segment (maybe too much beer when you numbered the picture?)

Subadult male before final mould (see wing pads):

Oh, really. Thanks. Yes, beer, sure. But the end of the abdomen is the important area. Anyway, your picture is much better and more precise, your arrows too :)
