Sexing larvae

[jaccob]

Sorry I originally posted this in the wrong section.

This may be a dumb question, but is it possible to determine the sex of a larva or is it only really possible to tell after it has pupated? I'm specifically asking about a larva I so far believe to be Dynastes tityus. Thank you.

For sexing the larvae of Dynastes spp., see Figure 3.3 on the following page -
