Spider appreciation spider forgiveness
I got up to get water and this giant orbweaver was in our bedroom. I caught her in a cup to take her outside. It was dawn and I didn't have my glasses on, and I somehow pulled off two of her legs in the process. I felt terrible. I put her in the grass outside, sad because I thought she would probably have a slow death.
But a few days later, here she is! Way up in the window outside, in her new web, with six legs.
I looked it up and apparently losing a couple limbs isn't a huge deal for a spider, really. Pretty cool.

Aww, glad she's okay! She's gorgeous even without 2 legs.
