Feminine are, usually, bigger than masculines (within the adults of th same species, or subspecies).
In some species, feminines have genitals openings covered by flat appendages called epigyna.

∙ 13y agoMost of the time you'll have to look at the genitalia of a spider. It is one of the things that most easily identifies the sex (as the other characters are often complex).
Depending on the species that you are trying to sex there may be other characters that you can use too. For instance you can identify male wolf Spiders by observing the pedipalps. If the pedipalps are swollen then the spider is male and is sexually mature.
The issue of sexual maturity is one that has to be taken into account as well. Many times the other characters (besides genitalia) that you might use to sex a spider are only present after the spider reaches sexual maturity (after its final molt). I am sure you can find a few articles online that might give you more help on this topic.
