Sexing

[Kirdec]

hi all, my Xenesthis immanis looks like a female to me because I think I see a spermathacae, or at least a begining of extension of epigastric furrow


EDIT the specimen is 3 1/2 inch

Shows the spermathecae for a X. Immanis, i dont see anything like that in Kirdec's picture, so i say it's a male

[sarah Smith]

I can see why he thinks it is female but I dont think it is from this piture.

Thx you both, this is the kind of reply I was waiting for, im not looking for guess

Yes, but maybe it is just not ... "formed" yet as it is 3 1/2 inch ?

but I agree, im not sure what to think
