Tetragnatha extensa, sometime known as the Long Jawed Orb Spider is found on low-growing vegetation, usually in damp areas. It feeds on insects, including mosquitos, midges and moths, which it catches in its loosely-constructed web. When alarmed, it will sit along a plant stem, a blade of grass or the central vein of a leaf, with its four front legs pointing forwards, and its four back legs pointing backwards for camouflage. T. extensa is able to walk on the surface of water, where it can move faster than on land.
Off out nice and early this morning, but thought I'd post this while waiting for her Ladyship to move her ass 
I dunno she was the one who wanted to go out early! Women eh????......
Enjoy and hope this one don't frighten all you wussies too much 
Thanks to Chris and Annette for their kind UA's on yesterday's image......

detail is tack sharp and you can clearly see their eyes. Again love the composition and the commentary is appreciated. Regards Russell
You got an excellent eye for small, elegant creatures. I had never noticed them nicely folded up like this.
Great detail as usual.
Guess you must have alarmed this one then!! (see - I do read your descriptions... from begining to end 
). Well captured, Ade.
Dave
A cracking close up capture Ade, it looks like it has had the fright of its life encountering you with your macro lens!
