Alright I’m pretty sure this is Dolomedes scriptus. I don’t think it’s Dolomedes tenebrosus since it has 2 stripes down the side which is a scriptus thing, that said both are very similar.
D. scriptus has a more sculptured look to the abdominal pattern and a more complete median carapace stripe. D. tebebrosus can have the white carapace border.
