Matttoadman Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Can anyone give me tips on sexing these guys? do I look at abdomen segments? I picked up and compared a few but they looked the same. Although one was a tad smaller and instead of being black it had a light tan underneath. From above they are the same. Although I do have a few three spot pronotums.

Doc Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 Yes, you just look at the segments. Females have one large segment and males have two smaller ones at the end. It may be hard to see these differences with nymphs smaller than medium size or in smaller species. Picture for reference: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matttoadman Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 Ok I finally started finding females. Apparently the females stay burrowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
