How do you tell.
I know the difference between male and female crabs, it's obvious once you've seen a few, but how do you tell what sex a lobster is?.

It's easy Doug,

The temperamental ones are females

Any use to you - Just found this
To determine a lobster's sex, look at the first pair of swimmerets (the pair closest to the head). These are hard and bonelike in the male, but soft and featherlike in the female.

Found this for you oh mighty one.

Hi Doug
The female has a rectangular shield between her second pair of walking legs and the first pair of swimmerets closest to the body are hard and bony on the male

Just for clarity, your picture is in regard to the difference between a male crab and female crab and not male and female lobsters.

Exactly, and Doug said he knows how to tell a female from a male crab, so shut up, Adrian?

Seems a pointless question to me.

If you've got crabs, tough luck.
If you've got lobsters, try explaining that one to the wife!!

Comes of not reading the problem carefully when dog tired. Ho hum.

PS. Why is our Dive God testing us. Is it not enough that we worship the water he walks on?
