A Tetrognathus sp., I see these alot when I go fishing, they make orb webs in the high grasses and cattails around waterways.

There are LOTS of long-jawed orb weavers around here, especially near lakes and rivers but inland as well. Heres a pic of a couple mating and a pic of one having a big meal...
