Long-jawed orb weaver

Tetragnatha versicolor

Description:

Yellow, brown and red spider with long abdomen and jaws. It went into a stretching stance to mimic the grass it was on when I approached.

Habitat:

Dry grassy area near lake on Chicory and unknown grass.

Notes:

I believe this is a type of banana spider. The first image shows two spiders at different angles.
