Re: Pop a guess then
Sexing by a moult is the only way to guarantee a spiders sex 100%
Males don't have spermathecae, females do. Depending on size depends how easy it is to see (obviously). But then there are species set to trick us!
Encyocratella olivacea females do not possess spermathecae! So when looking at a moult you're looking for the uterus externus (which you also look for in other species moults, but it accompanies the spermathecae which imo are easy to spot) which can be tricky!
