About Tetragnatha hawaiensis
Tetragnatha hawaiensis belongs to Tetragnathidae in the order Araneae. Its recorded origin status is endemic.
Natural history and identification
This Hawaiian long-jawed spider builds an orb web. Research on Hawaiian spider communities included its webs at Puʻu Makaʻala on Hawaiʻi Island, comparing web architecture among species. It should therefore be distinguished from the Hawaiian spiny-leg Tetragnatha that hunt without capture webs. The cited web measurements are not Kauaʻi measurements.
