I made a stop to check on that lovely Argiope at the local Subway…and she was gone! I was very sad. So I made a trip out to our sludgy Lake Crystal to see if there was anything cool out there, and there was! There was a long girl hanging out in the grass along the shore.
Tetragnathid, obviously, a long-jawed orbweaver. How long?
Here’s how long. She was gnashing those chompers, too, lookin’ scary.
Close up!
I set her free, don’t worry.
She is looking a little long in the tooth.
Would this be the same crystalline lake that was the scene of the abominably bad “Crystal Lake 2” ? In that case you should add mutant crocs to “animals to be brought to the lab”. But the long-jawed orbweaver is cute.
And totally off-topic, THIS is how skeptics raise their children ! http://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/skeptical
It would be nice to have a size comparater. Tape a scale. Insert a coin.

Makes you think about the song Long Tall Sally by Little Richard in a whole new light…
