Continue cleaning the genital segments to remove scales, tissue, and debris. It is often necessary to remove a spermatophore from
the corpus bursae. Using forceps, tear a small hole in the anterior end of the corpus bursae and pull out the spermatophore. Be careful
to not completely tear or destroy the corpus burase. Once the genital segments are relatively clean, they can be stained. Light
staining with chlorazol black is recommended for most females. The genitalia can be stained in the same dish as the abdomen.
Do not stain the abdomen too dark; exact staining times will depend on the stain and concentration.
