This will be the sperm pouch. It folds inward so many people attempt to place a piece of paper or blade behind it to prove to themselves its an actual flap and not just a torn part of the molt.I just placed a pic of my H. Pulchripes molt up and I couldnt find a flap or fold in the area its is supposed to be in. The Molt was tore up bad but I feel it should have been there, so I think I bought a male that was sold to me as a female.  I havent see the T yet. Possible 1 more molt for a mature male so I'll be lookingf for spurs when I do get to see it.</blockquote>
