Minor Cotinis news

 

After reading a paper I learned how to sex adult females. Remember how I said I had two males and a mismolted specimen which I suspected was female? Guess what, it is indeed one.

Also I forgot to mention that it lost its elytron after one of the males accidentally ripped it off during copulation. I knew this sort of thing was going to happen, should have separated them sooner. It's still alive and healthy though, and now in a separate container.
