The strange spider

The strange four legged spiderThis is a photograph from a few years ago. I came across this four legged spider that was skilfully wrapping a fly that got trapped in its web. The fly ended up in a tight cocoon made out of web strands; I am sure it served as a tasty meal later on.

I went away wondering why the spider only had four legs. The spider did not look or act like it had been injured. Is there a breed of spider with just four legs?

I would have done some more investigating, but I actually do not like spiders very much. Taking a photograph of one is an achievement in itself!
