| Feeds on mosquitoes. In the daytime, the spider hides underneath leaves or
branches nearby. Eggs are laid in a brown woolly cocoon fastened to the
underside of a leaf. Members of this family build delicate orb-webs with open hubs. The webs are suspended horizontally or in an inclined plane. Members of the species Tetragnatha are stick-like spiders with long legs and well-developed jaws. Most Tetragnatha spiders appear superficially similar. They can, however, be identified by examining the arrangement of teeth on the jaws. |
