Dolomedes Tenebrosus, or Dark Fishing Spider.
I caught it in a clear plastic cookie jar, shortly after it began to spin itself a web.

Can anyone confirm this species of spider? I have gotten bitten as well as my daughter and am beginning to get concerned. I also found another one alive on my son’s shirt, that one did not survive, but I am worried that there may be more and the Dolomedes Tenebrosus female can have upwards of 1000 babies per egg sac. Please help.
