Female
Note, on her antennae, the pedical is much longer than the width, which makes it slightly hard to accurately count them. 10 flagellomeres and 6 abdominal segments = ♀
On the other hand, the females always have much more black coloring of the eyes, which makes this species very easy to sex. Nice shots!
