Dolomedes tenebrosus
(Dark Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

This spider is very large and at first I thought of it to be a fishing spider but then I thought Wolf Spider. It was found dead in my basement and I tried to flush it but it wouldn’t go down. It’s about the size of two quarters maybe a little shorter body wise but legs were very long
