What is this spider I found in my yard?
Hi, Agille! I think this is a Long Jawed Orb Weaver, genus Tetragnatha. This is a new family for me to identify and I received two in just a week! The other photo was of the spider’s underside. These pretty spiders are known for their long legs that they stretch out in a straight line when threatened. It is believed this helps make them look more like a twig. Some species have big scary looking mouth parts but they are harmless to us! As I said, this is a new genus for me so any confirmation/rejections are very welcome!
