Palp fully extended prior to insertion.
The female pictured is still alive and well.
Oddly enough she has never produced fertile eggs. Males were generally killed, and if mating successful, egg sacs were attempted but aborted before depositing eggs, or shortly after, never completing sac. (edit: found images of at least one fertile sac and female with spiderlings)
The most recent attempt at a sac a month ago, a sac was constructed, and she sat in it for several weeks, never laying eggs. Eggs are generally laid within twelve hours of the female building the sac around herself.

Large females produce one sac per insemination and several between molts, but smaller females seem to need to molt after each sac before producing another sac.
