Long-jawed orb weaver? - Tetragnatha - male

Long-jawed orb weaver? - Tetragnatha - Male
Dallas, Dallas County, Texas, USA
October 25, 2016
Found at White Rock lake, Sunset Bay. Looks exactly like the ones found in the middle of an orb but this was not on a web.

Moved
This is an adult male. He may be out looking for a girlfriend

Tetragnathidae
Yes, it is a Long-jawed Orbweaver, more than likely in the Genus Tetragnatha.

Unlikely we will be able to take further.

 
Thanks
None of mine have been taken further than genus, the others were in the same genus but they were on large orb webs. This one was hunting along a grass stem, do they all hunt both in webs and out of webs with this genus?
