unknown spider - Tetragnatha
Linwood, Leavenworth County, Kansas, USA
September 27, 2009
Size: big
This guy was hanging out in his/her web over a creek. Those fangs make it look like it has ten legs. I wouldn't be surprised if it did have ten legs. What the heck is its name?

Thanks!
Maria

Long jawed orb weaver?
Family Tetragnathidae, maybe.

I think you're right.
I just found the long jawed orb weaver page on BugGuide. I haven't found one that remotely resembles the coloration of this one however.
