no not a stupid question, but the answer is no you can only sex them when they are full grown

I can sex them before they are adults... its the exact same. Large last segment=Female. Small last segment=Male.
Ill go take a pic of some nymphs and post a pic.
There ya go. Male on the left, female on the right. Both nymphs.

THANKS FOR THE ADVICE WILL HAVE TO TRY AND SEE EVEN THOUGH I DONT LIKE TO HANDLE THE THINGS BUT THANKS A LOT TO EVERYONE FOR TRYING TO HELP

Yes you can sex them with the above method when they are quite small. I just pulled a few out that were about 1/2" and they were sexable at that size.

WOW!!! Great Post
