The long-jawed spiders or long jawed orb weavers (family Tetragnathidae) are elongated spiders with long legs and chelicerae (jaws). 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. The web is usually parallel to the ground. Some species particularly in the genus Tetragnathare live in long vegetation near water. These spiders will bite if threatened, but the bite is not harmful to people.
