I like to pretend that doesn't happen ðŸ˜
That's a mature male, of what looks to be a regular house spider. He's probably near death bc when they reach this stage, passing on their genes becomes their main priority and they often won't eat, as well as creating sperm webs which uses up a lot of their internal proteins and energy.

When males reach maturity they grow those bulbs on their pedipalps, and once they've built a sperm web and deposited their semen, they pick it up with those bulb shapes and then go off to find a female. That bulb acts like a key and only fits that specific species. If lucky, a male deposits his sperm - very, very carefully - and lives to do it again. Eventually they die of starvation, exhaustion or being eaten - or they finally reach a molting point but those bulbs trap them within their old molts and they die.
