Dolomedes tenebrosus
(Dark Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Fishing Spider? This dude was in my basement last Friday and I was able to convince it go outside. Seven days later I found it walking around the patio. I've been here 15 years and have never seen this type of spider so I am guessing its the same. My backyard is adjacent to woods and a stream.
