Dolomedes tenebrosus
(Dark Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

I just figured out how to take detailed photos with white backgrounds! This is a collage of the same shot. They were taken in macro mode ( Samsung Galaxy) at night. For the bottom one I long pressed the screen for the screen brightness symbol. I toggled it to maximum brightness. I wish I had maximum brightness and learned to do this years ago!
