Bassaniana
This large lady had already lost a leg, whether protecting her eggs or in some other endeavor, I don't
know. I'm not even sure this was her egg sac but it probably was. © Carol Davis, 4-29-2007
If this female is fully mature, she will not grow back her missing leg. Only immature spiders go through molts and
regenerate any missing appendages. Taylorsville, Utah © Carol Davis, 4-29-2007
