This is an adult female. The males are almost always black with white markings. You can click on the "Info" link above to go to the Info page. Then click on the link under "internet references" to read an informative article on this species. You will read that the males are "always black", but if you look through the images here on the guide, you will see that males are sometimes other colors. These are rare specimens however. Also, you can look at the palps of the spiders to sex them. The males have their copulatory organs at the ends of their palps.
