Lynx Spider - Oxyopes salticus

Lynx Spider - Oxyopes salticus
100 Acre Wood, Winneshiek County, Iowa, USA
July 24, 2013
The silk has got to help with 2 legs missing.

As much as I would like to change the above sentence (MJ! Spiders have 8 legs.), I just can't.
It's too funny (not the poor spider who is missing FOUR legs).
