Attached please find some pics of P ornata...

If it would please the Big shots, clever folk, opinionated and batty creatures on this forum; would you be so kind as to have a guessing go at sexing this beautiful P ornata? As you can see it is a good 9cm. (And yes I had some trouble getting it back in last night). This spider is just under a year old. If you think it's a male, tell me gently :whistle:

and some more

and another (sorry cant seem to get all Pics attached to one entry)

I would say it is male.
The very dark line down the middle of the abdomen is good indicator.
The dark spot between the book lungs also suggest male. But the abdomen is a much more accurate indicator given the size of the specimen.

He is indeed beautiful.

Thanks man, I suspected as much, more than 60% of my T's turns out to be males
