    Yep, and those jaws look scary. It was squite common on the elongated leaves of the pandanus palms. Posted 9 years ago

The Red-bellied Long-jawed Spider

Tetragnatha rubriventris is a long jawed spider in the very large worldwide genus Tetragnatha.
The name 'red bellied' is not particularly diagnostic but the eye pattern is. The jaws are longer than the cephalothorax. Size is 12 mm (female) and 10 mm (male).
