Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

Larger than a playing card. The large brown mass below it is a group of tiny babies and eggs. I've seen smaller versions of this spider on my back deck in cone shaped webs in openings underneath flower pots. What is it? Huntsman? Wolf spider?

I have small children and outdoor pets, need to know if this is dangerous, thanks.

Hi, this looks like one of the fishing spiders, Dolomedes vittatus. It’s not dangerous. While they will bite if mishandled, they are not aggressive and the venom is not medically significant.

Thanks so much. I think you’re right, comparing photographs definitely looks like a fishing spider.
