A. moderatum MM-spermweb & loading

[CrypticSpider]

Here are videos of my now-deceased mature male
Aphonopelma moderatum. Many of you have never seen
a MM loading his palps, so here you'll see decent
footage. Ignore the poo - he was due for a clean-up
but I found him busy... so his cleaning was delayed by
a day. Also excuse the bad focusing.
