Also, sorry for the newbish question but is this a mature male? I'm still trying to learn how to tell. I see something on its pedipalps... does that mean male?
Yep. The palpal bulb is the structure often referred to as the boxer gloves at the end of a mature male's pedipalps, the emboli are located at the end of the pedipalps and often has a hook which the male uses to inject his sperm into the female.

Oh, I see! Thanks for the helpful explanation! Sorry about responding so late--I was offline for a few days.
