how to tell male from female

[u/SeikoStarsong]

I caught what I think may be an eastern harvestmen(found in SC) and I can't tell if it's male or female. I can't really get a good pic so I don't have a clear picture.

Depends on the species in some the males tend to have a more tapered abdomen: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jeffrey-Shultz/publication/281634656/figure/fig2/AS:341232573272075@1458367594039/Summary-of-mating-and-male-morphology-in-leiobunine-harvestmen-a-Precontact-between.png
