Any help identifying the spider pictured would be appreciated! Thank you!
Looks like you’ve got a Dolomedes tenebrosus(Fishing spider). Their bites are usually no more severe than a bee or wasp sting, but they are capable of biting you. As I would say for any other spider, give them their space and they’ll leave you alone.
