is losing it's legs. Every time I have a look at him/her, the poor thing has lost a leg - what could be doing it. I don't see any larger spiders around. I feel sorry for it as it's been there quite awhile now.

It is molting... they will grow back.
However, it could just be reaching the end of its lifespan... they usually die at the end of fall...
Here's a link for you

1. are you sure it's alive? :-)
2. don't worry about it, spiders often lose legs, that's why they start with 8 of them! :-)
3. I love spiders! can you take a picture of it for me?
I'd like to see what kind of spider it is

yes, it could be the shell, or it could have died long ago. I like spiders also. I would not clean the window either!

I think your spider is literally on its last legs. Be prepared to say farewell to your friend.

it could be the shell it grew out of, they shed there skin and move on. try looking closer to see if he moves.
