Tetragnatha shoshone is a rare spider species known for North America and Europe. The new site of T. shoshone was found in the middle-eastern Poland on the edge of Siedlce town in reed rushes of fishponds. The species can be considered as a specialist inhabits mainly habitats with tall rushes and it has been collected very rare. Further detailed study in such habitats is postulated.
