I would love to help you with sexing your H. mac....  unfortunately, it's a bit too blurry for me to tell, but I will have to opposite Thistles on my decision and say male.  I see a hint of a dark shadow on the furrow (possibly indicating epiandrous fusillae on a male).  Also, the book lung spacing is a tad too far apart for my liking (left from left and right from right).  There is reduced pattern on the abdomen (but this could be female with a smaller abdomen and her "bursts" aren't starting to show quite well).  Now, I may be wrong (and have been before- I do make mistakes) but I feel it is male.  It would help extend my certainty if you could give me a leg span on the H. mac.....</p></blockquote><p></p>
