Not sure if Eric is subscribed...
...but can anybody tell me how it was determined that this was a female? With all but one recent addition to the guide, none of the other images of this species have a gender determination.


I removed the 'male' tag which was selected by the posted when the image was uploaded. Somebody has changed it back.

Am I missing something about sexing this species?

-EDIT-

12/04/09 (4 days later) I removed the female tag.
