Comments & ID Thoughts
I just saw a big cream colored spider with dark brown stripes on the outside wall of my school. I sadly don’t have a picture of Mr. Spider, but I hope you know his identity.

It’s kind of hard to identify without a picture, but maybe we can make a few guesses. Did it look like any of these?

No. The spider was a very light off-white with A lot of small dark brown or black stripes. I wish I had taken a picture. If I see him again, I will
All right! Cute arctic fox picture, by the way. It looks so fluffy.
it looked like a dark fishing spider, but it was cream colored
https://bugguide.net/node/view/2028/bgimage Dolomedes albineus is a light-colored Fishing Spider with dark stripes. They can climb walls easily. When they are on trees they match the lichens.
That’s it! It looked like that! If I ever find one that looks like the spider I saw, I’ll be sure to post a picture for confirmation.
