Without a molt its hard to tell the gender but to me that part looks like a female but how big is the metallica and can you take a picture from top too? with pokies easier way to tell the gender is if the black line on white pattern at the abdomen if it starts to fade in each molt and if that white pattern becomes fully white then you have a female

The leg span is about 8cm (3") will compare the black line with next molt. I have no good photo of the male i had to compare it.
