Unidentified

Comments & ID Thoughts

Considering the size of this beauty, I originally assumed this was a Hogna carolinensis. But as I was recently making ID charts for my area to share with kids, I took a closer look at this girl and realized she was, in fact, a Dark Fishing Spider (Dolomedes tenebrosus).
