Fishing Spider - Dolomedes sp.
Class Arachnida
-- arachnids, aracnídeo, araignées / Order Araneae -- aranha, spiders /
Suborder Labidognatha / Family Pisauridae / Genus Dolomedes
Live adult spider photographed at Waterfall Glen Forest Preserve, DuPage
County Illinois, on the banks of Sawmill Creek. Size: 60mm (almost 2½
inches)
from tips of back legs to tips of
front legs. This is a large spider. I'm not sure it's big enough to be
"fishing", but plenty big for you faint of heart.
