Dolomedes tenebrosus
(Dark Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this dead in the basement. I always do the 'spider relocation' plan if I find spiders in the house...this one was good size and I must admit I would have been a little scared if he were alive when I found it. Hard to tell size but the body as is with legs curled up would fit on a dime.
