My recent cartoon animal question was interesting in several ways, including supposed projections upon my obsessions. So I decided to see if anyone knew how to tell, in a very general way, how to figure out what sex a spider is, without using a microscope. I learned this when I talked to a friend about his newest pet, an Amazon Bird Eating Spider. I suppose quite a few people on here already know, but it will be interesting to see what the people not familiar with spiders come up with.

There is an easy way, and it may surprise you to find out you don’t have to look between their little legs to figure it out.
