Dolomedes tenebrosus
(Dark Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Rather large female ~3-3.5” leg span. Pretty sure Dark Fishing Spider or some Dolomedes? Haven’t seen this large of a spider in IL. Was right below a light switch so couldn’t get a great look to see the eyes and tell if it’s Lycosidae or not.
