Possibly? It looks like it might be a bit small but if you get a microscope you may be able to see spermatheca if there is any.

You should be able to open it up and see. It's tough to say how big it is.
My two pulchripes are only about 3-4" and I sexed them easily by taking photos with my macro lens.
Here is what a female looks like...

And the male...

This is the male at 4" and the female is at about 3".

Oops, sorry. I didn't see the part about the tweezers being there for size. I think that they might be too small to sex without a microscope or a good macro lens.
