Male spiders use their pedipalps (the "hands" underneath their face) as a secondary reproductive organ to transfer the sperm to the female. This result in most male spiders having significantly larger pedipalps than the females - as shown by this very cute male Attulus terebratus jumping spider I found and shot at 3.3:1 magnification on the white garage doors at my mother-in-law's place.
