Spider - Acacesia hamata
Copyright © 2009 Audrey R Hoff

Spider - Acacesia hamata
Gatlinburg, Sevier County, Tennessee, USA
August 9, 2008
Size: ~10 mm
This spider was in the vegetation near the pond below the UT Field Station. I'm not sure who's "extra leg" that is - maybe the spider's "2nd left" leg, although it looks too long? Gathering_2008.

Nice find -
Yes that's the second leg on the right, but it looks like she's missing about three of her legs. Check out Acacesia in the guide here

Yikes!
Yes, I see, she really does have some damage.
