Ah. So "if that's really an ant, then it's got an extra leg" isn't actually the right answer, then? I was a bit torn, because nothing normally has seven.

Well, indeed. You do get humans with extra limbs, though, so occasional sports with the wrong numbers of segments or limbs must happen. You even get snakes with two heads, which is quite odd. I woudn't mind looking into developmental biology in some more depth, actually - I did a course in it, but it was fairly low-level. Lots of stuff about segmentation and homeobox genes. Still interesting, of course.
8 legs (although you need the big picture to be certain the front pair are legs rather than antennae, I suppose), 4 eyes. Also, linking to something with "mimicry" in the title is a bit of a gimme...

It's a cute li'l spider! :D
I saw its eye and they definitely weren't ant eyes. And then the Wikilink confirmed it. ^_^
