Artist's Description
Dolomedes tenebrosus, also called the Dark Fishing Spider, is quite large. The female can be over 3" if you count the legs. Although they certainly could bite people, reports of bites are very rare - they'd rather stay in a dark, quiet place than bother you.
Although they can run on water, even dive, and do catch tiny fish when the opportunity arises, these spiders love to live in the woods, not just near water. We often get them in our house and must rush to catch them ( a quart yogurt container works well) and put them outside before the cat eats them.
They are excellent Moms, carry the egg sack until the babies are almost ready to hatch. Mom attaches her eggs to a vertical surface, builds a protective web around it and stays with the babies until they are ready to disperse. You can see this Mom's abdomen is shrunken from not eating.
They are beautifully marked and sort of fuzzy. Our garden seems to attract them,
Range data is roughly the ea...
About Carol Senske
I always wanted to try photography, and my retirement offered an opportunity to do just that. The natural world is my first love. Here you will find pictures of things both large (landscapes, for instance) and small (macro) that catch my eye. I hope the images serve as a window into the natural world many of you don't have the chance to see. In a sense, I'm trying to create a guided nature trail, sharing what information I have about the subject. I'm always grateful for new and better information and welcome all input. Learning is food for the mind and soul. Nothing is ever harmed in the picture-taking process, but some things that wander into our home (like spiders) are carefully removed from the house after they serve as "models"....

People are always discovering new things or animals in places they aren't supposed to be. I guess they can't read! Keep your eyes peeled and who knows:>) Thank you for the wonderful comment, Kathy!
