They lay a sperm web and crawl under it to collect the sperm for mating. My MM A.hentzi is always doing this...

Yes.
I am sure if you use the search on this form you will find pictures of this.

He wants to make sweet love to some tarantulas spermathecae.

Like everyone else said, if you perform a basic search you will find information on a sperm web.

Here, try this http://lmgtfy.com/?q=tarantula+sperm+webs although you will probably find better information on this site, it's a good starter.
