I beg to differ mate, but thanks.

The Uterus exturnus is a rather large translucent "flap" covering the spermathecae from the angle we view the exuvium. It has to be lifted to expose the spermathecae. In some cases, the edge of the spermathecae would protrude from behind the "flap", yet in others, they are obscured from view unless the "flap is lifted. On a spider this size, the spermathecae would be Amber in color and much more visible.

I stick to MALE, but would gladly be proven wrong...

Are we still on the same spider here. The image you posted now is not C cyaneopubescens as females have fused spermathecae. If you zoom in enough and dampen the exuvium, of course you might see through the uterus exturnus, but I was sexing the original picture, not the two hundred others.

I stick to male on the original picture as that is what this thread is about...

Might be female as far as i know a GGB female when young will have a small red dot... google it... is what i said.
Just using another pic to show you that translucent is indeed see through lol :whistle: just disagreed with you on that.
As far as your other points are very very valid

Dot or not, that's a male china!


It's just the curl of the Burl
