My gentleman hooked out

Feeling sad the last few days. My C versicolor recently molted and is now a mature male. I can’t see the hooks, but the emboli are obvious and if there was any doubt left, it faded when I saw him making a sperm web a few days ago. I’ve had this guy for so long that I had assumed at this point it was female. Feeling really bummed, but also grateful that he got to live out his full life. Currently he still eating, so hopefully we’ve still got a bit left with him. I got him a as a very small juvenile, nearly 5 years ago. Quite a long life for this little guy.
