jaccob Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schledog Posted November 18, 2018 Report Share Posted November 18, 2018 (Yeah I’m sorta quoting a post of Orin’s that I came across ) In stags you can see the ovaries through the sides of the abdomen, in flower and rhinos there's a spot (herald's organ) on the lower ventral abdomen if it's a male.
