you will need to soak the highlited part in warm water and carefully unravel it and get a closer pic of it.

I'm a noob so might be wrong..But it looks like it's got that flap thing, so I think female

Wait for more experienced people to confirm though

We need a picture of the inside of the abdomen section flattened out. Get a magnifying glass and look at the area above the leaf shaped "flap" there should be two small orangey "horns", if it has them, it's female, if not, you've got a boy. Although by looking at the shape of the section between the anterior pair of booklungs, i'd go for female

Is it just me who can see a flap then?
