Tiny Tuesday Argiope

This is an Argiope (yellow and black sewing machine spider).  I figure he qualifies for tiny Tuesday because this one is less than half the size of the typical  Argiope we see in September.  The females are huge now while they lay their eggs so I'm assuming this is a little male.  Also, he only has six legs which may have contributed to his size.  Harder to eat when you are missing two legs.   This is a very common garden spider but I think they are a very handsome creature.
