But you had to have a look didn't you...?
And now you're thinking male?

Of course it's just a spider from beneath... but it's a female and you're looking at the epigyne or epigynum which is of course the external genital structure of females. The primary function of the epigyne is to receive and direct the palpal organ of the male during copulation.
