Long-jawed Orb Weaver Hunting Method - Tetragnathidae - Animal India
A long-jawed orb weaver spider builds a web beneath a wildflower to catch prey, camouflaged against the leaves, while ants move across the surface in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on March 14, 2026. Long-jawed orb weavers are ecologically significant as specialized riparian predators that help control flying insect populations near water sources. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
