Hello, fellow Canadians or anyone else that might know..I'm especially wondering if you can help, Jsloan because I know you've referenced from the Checklist Of Spiders Of Canada And Alaska before.
Anyways, I thought I had found a Pholcus phalangioides spiderling but now I'm leaning towards IDing it as a Tetragnathid. It sits diagonally in its web with its long front legs outstretched in front of it in a classic tetragnathid pose. It almost looks like a mosquito. It's legs are long but they aren't as spindly as a cellar spider's, imo.
Sorry I don't have a pic, but does anyone know what species of Tetragnathid is common to Ontario? I'm trying to decide how to ID this spiderling, thanks.
