Found bunches of these tiny spiders today as the temps finally got to almost 60 degrees. This one caught my eye because it only had 6 legs. There's two legs on the right side that are missing.

Now one week later, the missing spider legs have shown up in another spiders web.

Very cool shots! Wonder what happened to the legs

Probably attacked something it shouldn't have ;-)

Good shots, WB is off I suspect, but well exposed and decently sharp. Nice looking crab spider.

Lovely shots. Think this is a running crab spider so it might have some problems :)

Poor guy's going to run in circles for a while.

Great shots :)

Nice shots, I really like lower point of view on the second one.

It reminds me of my neices 'playing' with a grasshopper and then telling us that he had a few 'loose' legs. Poor thing.
