palpal bulb question

[lee smith]

hi

my H.lividum shed today and ive noticed that it has a small pikish bubble on the underside of the fist joint of its palps.

does this mean its a male and its just matured??

does anyone have a picture of a H.lividum palpal bulb (from the side) when its folded away??


thanks in advance

As far as I am aware it's easy to determine the gender of H Lividum as it's only the female of the sp that has the blue coloration?

mine has blue legs (with the stripe on them that ive seen in pics) and geyish-brownish carapice/abdomen.
