Majuscula sex change?

[Malakyoma]

Hey guys. I'm sure a few of you heard that all of my majusculas were male. It really bummed me out to find that, I even sent pictures to other breeders to get their opinion and they agreed they all looked male. Well one of them molted to subadult two days ago, and is now apparently female. I can see a small notch and the last segment is fairly large compared to the burst of segments that signify male that she had last instar. I'm pretty confused by all this.

um, congratulations?

Well, it just gets easier to find out, and to see.

The same happened to my majs, 3 males became 2 females, 1 male.

Lol, yes indeed, congrats? ...when I recieved my orchids, I sexed them and had one, male, and one female (both L3) ...next molt, the male was female... -.' soon I will need male...

It's just easier for me to believe that they were missexed by 1,000 people than that her sex actual changed.

I find it difficult to sex majuscula at young instar.

It never actually changed genders.

 

[patrickfraser]

I'm not so sure, could the said mantis afford(cha-ching)transgender surgery? That would say a lot about what happened here! :stuart:
