Ponder and Orion newly molted

[Mime454]

Mime: if she's truly a lady... then why is she sticking her badoinkadoink so far up in the air???

A postmodern lady if ever there were one.

Thanks. I do see the correction regarding Ponder (female rather than male). Although pre-adult, the physiology is much different than male Parasphendale affinis. I found a good illustration of this here

Poor Ponder. He/She's gonna grow up to be a transvestite. First I call her she. Then I call him he. Now it's back to she. Does anyone have Dr. Freud's phone number??

. Haaahaaa a mantisvestite

Just wait till they are adult to sex them and get a suprise! (Jk)

Sexing can be difficult, after you know what to look for and the main differences, it gets easier with experience....

I like to name the younguns. This will make it a little more challenging to come up with gender-neutral names.
