Unfortunately I have no pictures of the spider, but yesterday I came up from my basement & maybe 3 minutes later a spider that looks identical to this one came crawling down my arm. It moved very fast & went behind our couch then crawled behind an extension we have plugged in to an outlet to hide. Finally we were able to kill it but smashed it so much it was not identifiable.
Hi, this is a Dark fishing spider, Dolomedes tenebrosus
Thank you very much. I will do some research on it. I didn’t know if it was a spider that would be dangerous or not. Honestly I’m not afraid of spiders, but my husband is. This is the very 1st spider that scared me. I just about peed my pants when I seen it on my arm.
