male & female Tetragnatha
I doubt we'll be able to ID these. The views that are most important are eyes, jaws from the front, side view, dorsal view then ventral view. A local expert who's studied them might be able to ID them, but probably not us.

They can hang around, just don't hold out hope for a species ID anytime in the near future. =]
