Can you possibly downsize the pics as they are taking ages to download the bigger version. From what I can see the margies appear to be male but it also depends on their age and size. What size are they? What is teh bottom one - that is a weird plastron?

The bottom one is a Redfoot Sue

All 3 look like males to me

Aha - know nowt about Redfoots Dan. Is the plastron unusual or is that a common feature of them, just wondering?

**egyptiandan64** · 13-01-2007, 07:36 PM

Yes Sue thats normal for the northern variety of Redfoots to have a plastron with the diamond in the middle

Well well- another new thing to note. It looks almost like a blemish doesn't it?

When taking pictures close up you need to put your camera into macro mode (flower) on the camera dial, this will help focus up on the close up area.

A clear picture would give a better idea for identification.
