Tetragnatha sp.

Description:

Superior Taxa: Tetragnathidae / Araneoidea / Araneae
Los tetragnátidos (Tetragnathidae) son una familia de arañas araneomorfas de cuerpo muy alargado, y con patas y quelíceros muy largos.
Estas arañas tejen una tela orbital, tejiendo una pequeña órbita que se abre en pocos radios y espirales. La tela de araña no tiene “línea de señal” ni refugio. Algunas especies se las encuentra en vegetación espesa cerca del agua.

The long-jawed orb weavers or long jawed spiders (family Tetragnathidae) are elongated spiders with long legs and chelicerae.
The spiders are orb web weavers, weaving small orb webs with an open hub and few, wide-set radii and spirals. The webs have no signal line and no retreat. Some species are often found in long vegetation near water.
