Longjawed Orbweaver - Tetragnatha sp. This beautiful spider was sitting on some vegetation that was sandwiched between a hiking trail and a stream in a deciduous forest.  When disturbed, they can stretch their front legs forward and their back legs behind.

  1. Too cool! Looks like it would be difficult to photograph and you nailed it! Posted 7 years ago
    1. Thanks :). Wish I had gotten the abdomen in focus as that would have helped in getting a species ID. This little guy didn't like me though and was on high alert, so I only snapped a few pics before moving on and leaving him alone. Posted 7 years ago
