Well, I can't say I've really
noticed that much either, in all wing-pumping sessions I was allowed to witness the beetle started pulling them in way before the wings were fully "dry" (transparent black). On this particular one I even totally missed the "pulling in" because I got distracted by a phone call
@mntgoat: In addition to Paul's remarks about the sexes: If you find one with a big-belly-full-o'-eggs it's usually a girly too
