Dolomedes tenebrosus
(Dark Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Found under the crawl space perfectly still on the brick wall, legs stretched. No web immediately nearby. Mice and voles get in the crawl space if that is a potential food source other than insects. I thought maybe a wolf or huntsman spider, but with the perfectly striped legs and speckled back, I'm not sure.
