Very attractive composition and nice, natural looking lightning!
But what happened to the left front leg?
It looks as if there are some tiny claws, though it is much shorter than the left.
Could it be a lost leg partly regenerated?

It is a very nice image!

But I am curious: am I correct in thinking that this spider is dead?

That's pollen from the daisy. I think the spider is dead and posed. You don't have to kill them to get close images, here's a live one from a single shot.
