Does anyone know what sort of spider this is?

It's very pretty, missing a leg or two, but I've never seen one quite like it. It's less than a cm across. Am in South East England.

I'm assuming some sort of garden spider but it is green.

We have these - I've done a google search and it looks like it could be a Cricket Bat OrbWeaver. Wikipedia page here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mangora_acalypha

I don't know what they are, but there are loads of them in my garden.

That's it! Thank you. I was wondering if it was something exotic that had hitched a lift in a pineapple!!

Looks like an Orb weaver - loads of them in my area of SE. Especially in garden bushes.

Good luck finding his missing limb though. Maybe ask at Anthom? 🤣🫣

I'd be looking for bigger spiders that hutch lifts in pineapples 😯
