Dolomedes scriptus
(Striped Fishing Spider)

Comments & ID Thoughts

Looks to me like a striped fishing spider, found it on the shore of a small island at the compensating reservoir in Barkhamsted, Ct. It was hanging out on a rock in the sun right next to the water. Just curious about if that’s what it may be.
