Masculines (adults) have the last segment of the pedipalps bigger (compared to adult feminines of the same species, or subspecies) and flat, transformed in copulatory structures, while feminine ones doesn't. Feminine are, usually, bigger than masculines (within the adults of th same species, or subspecies).
In some species, feminines have genitals openings covered by flat appendages called epigyna.

Do female spiders eat the male spider?
Some species of female spiders do eat the male spiders after mating. Since spiders are intraguild predators, meaning that they eat each other, female spiders eat male spiders of the same and other species as food all the time.
Do all spiders lay eggs?
Yes, all spiders lay eggs. They typically produce silk egg sacs to protect their eggs until they hatch. Each sac can contain hundreds of eggs, depending on the species of spider.
Are spiders unisexual or bisexual?
No. When a female black widow spider is looking for a mate, well she finds one and mates it. Then she eventually eats him! (most species of female spiders do this- they are bigger than the males as well). The female black widow spider uses the male one just to make babies. Then they are off-unless the female is hungry! So, black widows are not asexual. By the way, I am female and 13 years old and I love spiders. Plus, I am also learning about sexual reproduction and all that sex stuff in 7th grade science now-anyway, hope this made sense to you!
How are spiders made?
Spiders are produced from eggs laid by adult female spiders. Each egg sac can contain hundreds of eggs, which hatch into spiderlings that eventually grow into adult spiders. The process of spider reproduction involves mating between a male and female spider, with the female typically being responsible for egg-laying and caring for the young until they are independent.
Is it true that only female spiders can spin webs?
Different species vary - some spiders don't spin webs.. but it is not true that only female spiders spin webs - both male and female do - otherwise how would the male spiders catch their food?

Is a male spider bigger then a female spider?

Why do female spiders kill male spiders?
Female spiders have food on their minds almost all the time. They having mating as an objective part of the time. When they have mating on their minds that does not stop them from wanting to eat. Male spiders have several ways of identifying themselves as being of the same species as the female, so that she will let them approach to mate with her. Then most of them have their own ways of keeping the female from eating them as or after they mate. Some male spiders sacrifice themselves. Some female spiders sacrifice themselves to their babies after the babies hatch.Eating the male spider after mating gives the male spider's genes a better chance of survival. So, evolutionarily speaking, it is an advantage to the male to have his progeny get a good start in life. The same is true of the female. Spiders species often live for only once season anyway, so it may be unlikely that either males or females of some species will get a second chance at reproducing.So female spiders eat male spiders because they are hungry, but also perhaps because evolution has not found it expedient in some cases to give the males a good way out. In other cases, however, the males almost always are not eaten. Some female spiders even tolerate males to continue living with them.
Can female spiders lay eggs?
yes! of course!
All female spiders bite off their mates head when their done mating?
Actually a large percent of male spiders manage to escape after copulation. Most cannabalized spider males I have seen have been the result of the cameraman flicking the web to induce just such behavior. A further point: spiders suck out the insides of their prey they don't bite things off. I believe you may be thinking of the Preying mantus and like insects.
How many legs do all spiders have?
A funnel spider has eight legs, as do all spiders.
