Was almost going to ask if you could turn her over for another photo of the epigynum, but I don't think there's anything to see. Perhaps, though, you could shoot a general ventral shot?

Actually Gertsch & Ennik (1983) indicate that one possibly can see the seminal receptacles, which would be nice. Geographically this should be L. reclusa, shouldn't it?

Looks to be a Recluse
