Lucanus Posted April 15, 2013 Report Share Posted April 15, 2013 Male female Pair If you look closely at the tip of the abdomen, you will realize that the male has a reproductive organ sticking out, which can't be seen in female. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucanus Posted April 16, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2013 i just look at the horn lol Strategus aloeus female has a tiny horn on the thorax which gets some people confused about the gender. Also, really tiny minor male probably resembles a female in horn shape so this is the best way to clarify the sex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
