Bridge orb weaver
Found in my house, looking for an ID. It was large, size of my hand. I released it in the woods after photo.
I think this beauty is Dolomedes tenebrosus. Dark fishing spider. She looks to be carrying eggs.
Yes! It does appear to be a gravid female with eggs growing inside her. Thank you @Hothouse for catching and releasing! You might see her again carrying an egg sac later in the Summer.
