For reference, I have attached one image of very clear spermethecae on my A. seemani almost 2-inch molt (even without having the molt spread perfectly), and a much harder to see tiny speck indicating potential spermathecae on my H. villosella less than 1-inch molt. For the smaller molts, I tend to keep my sex determinations tentative, but at least I feel like I have an idea, depending on if I could keep the molt specimens intact!</p></blockquote><p></p>
