Hi all, Leon here in Kate's house. Whilst we were both around, decided to fish out Kate's 5 rufilata juveniles.

Here are the ventral views of each, 1 - 5. I know they might not be perfectly clear, but they're certainly worth a look. I hate ventral sexing, never sure of my own judgement, but for now the only one I feel confident on is Number 4, which I believe is a male.

Anyway, here are the pics:

To be totally sure, you need to sex the molts, when they do. Don't let our advice convince you, they are just guesses.

sex the molt's to be 100% sure, but if I was guessing I would agree with the other members.
