Pics of male L. Geometricus(Brown Widow) needed

[insect714]

Hello I am looking for pics of male L. Geometricus. I have searched all over the web and have only been able to come up with pics of females. I currently have 3 egg sacs incubating and want to know what to look for onc ethey get larger and are able to be seperated, so any good info or photos would be of great help

You should easily be able to tell by the size. Males are many times smaller than females. It should not be hard at all to separate males before the females mature.

i think so :?,...
male hasn't last long after been introduced to the female,...
but i currently have 2 eggsacs and 1 bunch of small evil widow-slings


Ps: it's rather easy to see when the males are mature,... you can't miss their palps
