[HELICONIUS] dissecting and sexing pupae?

[Richard Merrill]

Hi All,

I was wondering whether anyone had any experience of sexing pupae by dissecting them (and if so is it possible to do this for early and late stage pupae). 

I know it is meant to be possible from external morphology, and I've done this before but only with ~50% accuracy!

Best wishes,

Richard
