The second one of these I have found--both had wandered into the laundry room. Coaxed very gently into a jar, I kept this one for several days in cool, shaded conditions, and brought it out for a couple of photo sessions. It was not much fazed by chilling, but it did hold still, sometimes, when placed out in the open. During one session, it leaped onto my lens, very near my hand, causing me to lean back quickly and fire a couple of shots in the air as I tried desperately to not drop the camera and to not feel how powerful the fangs were. Luckily, photographer and spider both survived the odreal without any injuries.Pcca20080412-0116a

view large she is a real beauty :)Dark fishing spiderOrder: AraneaeFamily: PisauridaeGenus and species: Dolomedes tenebrosus HentzFemale D. tenebrosos have a bodies (cephalothorax and abdomen) that reache about 1 long. When outstretched legs are included in the measurements, the animal can measure over 3 long. This young lady was found in Connecticut. They are wandering spiders, stalking their prey rather than snaring it in webs. Spiders of the family Pisauridae are often called nursery-web spiders. Shortly before the eggs hatch, the mother attaches the sac to vegetation, builds a nursery web around it, and stands guard nearby. The young live in the nursery web for some time after hatching This information was adapted from "Dark fishing spider" by Jeffrey K. Barnes and the full article can be found by following the link:
