Dolomedes triton
(Six-spotted Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

The only thing I know about these spiders,
Is that around this time every year, when it starts to warm up here in Louisiana.
I tend to find them either swimming on top of the water, sitting on the pool wall under water, or on a web in the corners of the pool, right above the water line.
