Functional asymmetry

This immature White-banded Fishing Spider, Dolomedes albineus, was hardly hampered by having lost a leg, and it will likely regenerate the appendage with its next molt. It was hanging out at our front porch light the night of May 6, 2023, and I wonder it is the same one I saw last year, a little older and larger. Leavenworth, Kansas, USA.
