From Rod Crawford
Unquestionably T. laboriosa. Based on the unmodified (no tail) silvery abdomen plus the moderately separated lateral eye pairs. Lateral eyes are touching in versicolor, extensa & elongata; very widely separated in some others.

In Washington, this species and T. versicolor are essentially the only ones you ever get except in wetlands with emergent vegetation, where several others can be found.


Moved from Longjawed Orbweavers.
