Yup, that's what had both Nikki and Paolo on alert before they noticed the spiders. It would have been a good red herring for the audience had the male spider "twist" not been telegraphed 30 minutes before.

By the way, I don't see any reason to believe that it's not really Locke's father. His mom would have to be in on that, or somehow be mistaken about the paternity because when he came for the kidney, she was pretty insistent that he was indeed his father, even after he found out it was a con.
