long jawed spiders (Tetragnathidae) are a family of araneomorph spiders first described by Anton Menge in 1866. They have elongated bodies, legs, and chelicerae, and build small orb webs with an open hub with few, wide-set radii and spirals with no signal line or retreat.
The oldest known orb-weaving spider is ‘Mesozygiella dunlopi’, an extinct species of orb-weaving spider with specimens found in amber dating from the Lower Cretaceous period. Because there are so many different species of Orb Weavers, they differ in colour shape and size.
The jaws (known as 'chelicerae') are hinged with the fangs at the tips, and when mating the male has to lock his jaws on the females to prevent her eating him. When frightened Long-jawed Orb-weaver spiders lie flat out with their legs stretched out in a straight line. This allows them to hide behind thin vegetation. Or my garden lights.
