Nice!
Unlike females, the males have the subsequent three tarsal segments also expanded. Like females, the males have two pairs of long anal setae near abdominal apex. Definitely some cross anatomy going on between the sexes. My female is from central Illinois.

Fantastic Diagnostic Photo!
Didn't expect this feature to be that obvious. Thanks for the contribution Curt!
