Hey Argy Bee, It does have all of it's legs still. One of them is just bent under the hole in the leaf because it was a really windy day and it was fighting hard to hang on. Cheers for the info to identify it. I'll adjust that tomorrow. Much appreciated. And thanks to Misako and Antonio too :)

Pity it's lost its front left foot... did it try to escape?
