Missing Legs

This is the spider I posted a few days ago, when he was wrapping up a hornet. Today I noticed it is missing a couple of legs. When I checked back to the previous pictures I took of this guy and his prey I realized he had all of his legs at the beginning of the capture, but was missing a couple by the time he had the hornet totally wrapped. It must have been quite a struggle!

Lovely detail on the spider and the web Kim, hope its Hornet meal was worth loosing a couple of legs over :)

Fascinating story. Poor thing. I hope they grow back
