I know the best way is to check the molts, but as neither of these guys have provided such, I figued I'd check and hone my ventral sexing skills while I wait. First up is Miwi, the Tappinauchenius violaceus. It is approximately 1.5" (slightly bigger than 1", but definitely bigger than 1"). I am guessing Miwi is male? Any other thoughts/ideas? I know this pic isn't the best but currently my resources are limited :(

Next up is Balthazzar. It 'stands' at 1". I am guessing female.

I also totally admit that I could be completely wrong..so please help enlighten me if you can! I also know that both are probably too young to show any true signs, but sometimes you get extremely knowledgeable people :)

Much too fuzzy to tell. So sorry :( not to get your hopes up, but if I had to guess I'd say the tap is female. Again though, I can barely see in that pic.
