Looks like it’s doing the ‘X’ thing with its front legs like a Nursery Web Spider (Family Pisauridae) and the pattern and body shape seem to line up. Unsure about the genus/species, though.
I agree with the nursery web spider tought, based on leg positions and body shape, but after some research, I could find no similar species.
My first thought based on posture was a fishing spider, but I also couldn’t find any fishing spider species that matched. The eyes do seem more like a fishing spider than a nursery web, though.
I couldn’t find any similar fishing spider either.
And thank you ZebraDuck, as well!
Thanks for trying to help me identify this spider Bradyfish!
