- Attributes:
It’s a Dark Fishing Spider. They are great hunters & non-aggressive. They can bite, but very rarely do. I just put something over them, slide a paper under them, flip & relocate them outside. They can be quite large, Females can be up to 3 inches, males half the size. They only make webs as a nursery guard around an egg sack were up to 500+ babies stay for quite a while with her protecting them. They are usually near water, but can wander anywhere.
Thank you for doing an identification for the site! We’re entirely run by volunteers and everyone’s help is appreciated!
