Long-jawed Orb weaver spider

Long-jawed Orb weaver spider
Latin name: Tetragnatha sp.

I'm pretty pleased with this shot of a Long-jawed Orb weaver. It was taken in pretty poor light I think at 1/60 sec exposure time. This is a male of the species. I'm not sure exactly which species it is. There were many of these fellows hanging out on top of the leaves of the Touch-me-nots that covered the forest floor in the hickory forest at Selkirk provincial park where we went camping this past weekend.
