Gravid Longjawed Orbweaver - Tetragnatha - Female
Sarasota, Sarasota County, Florida, USA
March 18, 2016
Size: 10mm
I think this is Tetragnatha sp. Possibly T. elongata?
Individual collected from shelered area outside garage near wetland.
I did not realize spider was gravid until it produced egg case while kept overnight.
This specimen was released where found along with egg case.
