I had seen this type of spider in a nature walk....It is so weird but I saw that there is jointed parts to the leg... so this is it! :) Well, I totally agree on it!

I'd doubt that it only had six legs to begin with. I'd also say with some certainty that it lost its legs at one point. Most likely an epic battle with a flea, considering that this is a 5x shot. :-) I don’t know what it is either, but it’s a nice shot. I’d doubt that it only had six legs to begin with.

Several days ago I was dustmopping my bathroom floor, when a tiny movement caught my eye in an area I hadn't gotten to yet. I discovered a very tiny spider, rust colored with a (relatively) long oval body and pale legs. And, without a word of a lie, it was missing two of its back legs, but on the left side! When I saw your incredible photo I had to comment. I have the spider in a little bottle so I can watch it for a while, and have been feeding it gnats and such. It seems to be doing well enough. I wonder if it will grow? I agree with you that the explanation for the missing legs is most likely the second one. I didn't know about them amputating legs to save their lives after being bitten by prey. Very interesting. Thank you for your stunning photo - I love the little eyes! I live among many spiders in my house (uninvited), but never *get* to see them close up. This is the weirdest coincidence!
