This quite large LJOW was hanging around on Antelope Island. Notice the third set of
legs from the front are shorter than the rest. This is a good way to identify this
particular spider. Also, you can see why it's called the LONG-JAWED orb
weaver (below). © Carol Davis, 7-9-06
This is a very small spider that lurks in the wetlands of Jordanelle Reservoir in Utah. They have very long legs
and are hard to spot because of their size. © Carol Davis, 6-14-06
This little lady was very small--maybe 1/8 inch (or smaller--so that's why the shot is not very large.
Found on Antelope Island. Notice the eyes are in two rows of four each. © Carol Davis, 6-11-06
