This is an European species which was introduced into NA. There are two Zygiella species found in NS, Z. atrica & Z. nearctica. The two can be separated by the length of the palpal tibia; a long one would mean Z. atrica which is the case here. Identified by Mandy Howe, BugGuide. Photographed in Coldbrook.

Long jawed spiders are elongated spiders with long legs and chelicerae. The spiders are orb web weavers, weaving small orb webs with an open hub and few, wide-set radii and spirals. The webs have no signal line and no retreat. Some species are often found in long vegetation near water.
