Tetragnathidae

The only species I can think of are these for Canada
Genus Tetragnatha - Longjawed Orbweavers
Tetragnatha are difficult to identify and microscopic examination of the genitals of mature specimens is necessary to separate the species safely. https://www.naturespot.org.uk/species/tetragnatha-extensa
