Hi there. I've found this spired near the entrance of one of the oldest caves in my country(Bulgaria). Its about 1-1,5" legspan. I think its some kind ot cave spider and is protected by the law. Can somebody ID this and give me more info about. Thanks.

Hallo!

I think your spider is a Tetragnatha sp. (Tetragnathidae)
This genus is very common btw., i doubt that they're protected!
