orchid gender or to little to tell (newbie here)

[sally]

my feeling is a female but i am having a hard time with this id.

From your pic it's really hard to tell? I would go with female for now.

I also vote for female. It seems to show well enough the large and wide last abdominal segment. Perhaps an L-3.

It looks like a female in that picture, but in the other two pictures of it in the gallery it looks like a male... Could you maybe take a picture showing the entire bottom of the abdomen (if that's possible)

i vote female

The large leg plates spell female to me, its the best way to tell young I've found, males plates are much smaller than females and they don't go up and down with feeding like the abdomen can.

You can sex them by L2 if you look close enough. Females have a 'V' indent on the underside of the final segment. That is the surest method for sexing.

somebody said also that only female orchids have a little horn between the antennae, i have also found this to be true in creobroter...

Thanx all I will put some new pics up soon!

Is this true?
