Grammostola Pulchripes, male or female? I'm leaning female but not 100% sure
Won't need a microscope at that size. Even if can't see with naked eye, zoom in with phone and will be easily identifiable 👍

To add...the earthworms I use are called Giant Lob worms from bait shops. I don't trust digging up my own just in case they have been in contact with various nasties in the gardens they visit. So "farmed" earthworms where it is confirmed no pesticide/insecticides. Sorry I should have made that clear in last reply.
I would reply with a picture. But it's dark above the flap, I guess the spermithicae, towards the carapace.

You should be able to raise "the dark" bit if you put a pin or piece of paper beneath it. I don't have a pic of my females spermathecae to upload for reference but if you search under Grammostola pulchripes you may get a hit and someone else has posted for reference 🤞
