Allpetroaches Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Posted by Megan on 1/12/2005, 9:17 pm 144.138.113.111 Hi! Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to find out what sex my Macropanesthia rhinoceros is? I've read that males have a more concave dorsal shield and also have an extra segment seen on the hind end of the ventral adbomen. How many segments should there be? Any help would be great, thanks! megantibaldi@hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Panesthiinae) If there's a tiny segment at the end, it is a male. If it ends in a large segment with no tiny piece at the end it is a female. mantidsassassins@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
