cant really see too well :? .

Try get a pic from above because at first I sexed mine by looking at the thorax since they segments were too small for my eyes to see properly. The male has a diamond shaped thorax and the female has a triangle shaped thorax. Well, this is what mine looked like and now adult I was right about it. It is quite easy to see so try get a pic of the top of it and I can help a little more maybe?

Cheers, Cameron.

Here are 2 more pics also crappy just click on them to enlarge. Francisco told me that he is a male so I belive him just want a second opinion.

 

[ibanez_freak]

Cheers,Cameron.
