T. versicolor is heavily concentrated in New England and the west coast in states like California and Washington.

While they can be found in places like Grasslands, Wetlands, Forests, etc., they prefer dryer areas like normal trees and shrubs.

Unlike other spiders in the genus Tetragnatha, T. versicolor will rarely reside near aquatic environments.

In addition, T. versicolor can be distinguished from other spiders in Tetragnatha by the distinct separation of the anterior/posterior eyes and the appearance of their reproductive organs.

[1] The carapace of male T. versicolor will typically be colored dark yellow or pale orange with markings radiating dorsally.

Like the carapace, the legs are colored dark yellow or pale orange with a silver abdomen dorsally along the sides.

The male's conductor has a thick rounded tip and a small point near the base of the structure.

T. versicolor can be differentiated from other species in the genus by the distinct separation of the anterior/posterior eyes and the appearance of the reproductive organs.

In addition, T. viridis looks very similar and can be distinguished from T. versicolor by the above mentioned criteria as well as the long macrosetae on the leg Tibiae.

In the United States, this spider is heavily concentrated in the northeast and the west coast, from California to Washington.

[5] Unlike its relatives T. viridis, T. straminea, and T. elongata, it can live in areas ranging widely in elevation and vegetation type.

[7] Spiders of the Tetragnathidae family feed mainly on small flying Insects that are caught in their wheel-shaped web.

[8] Known predators of the T. versicolor include Birds, Lizards, Shrews, Salamanders, and Jumping spiders.

Female T. versicolor living in different regions consume different insects and this varied consumption of prey leads to differential expression of venom-producing genes.

There is also differential expression between the two sexes, with males more likely to overexpress this venom-related gene than females – an example of sexual dimorphism in these spiders.

The structure described above allows vibrations to be transmitted towards the center where the spider will usually sit, and provides direct access routes to anywhere on the web.

The sticky section of the orb weaver's web is very elastic, and allows for trapped insects to struggle a great amount without escaping.

Due to how thin the webs are, under natural conditions like low light or windy weather, they are practically invisible and can catch prey by surprise.

The male inserts his palp by using his third pair of legs to pull the female's abdomen closer.

While the male inserts his left and right palps into the female's reproductive tracts, the hematodochae will rapidly inflate and deflate.

As an orb weaver spider, T. versicolor will stay in one place most of the time to catch their prey.
