I thought this was another fishing spider because I found it on this bridge abutment perched over water but I'm not sure. I favored one of the Wolf Group. Giff Beaton thinks it is another Dolomedes. If it is it is D. tenebrosus. And this is a big spider. Almost three inches from leg tip to leg tip. I believe that the one discolored leg on the spider's left side is post regeneration or something even more mysterious. I will have to take one of these big creek dwellers to learn what it is. On this day I just took its picture.

From the pier at Palarm, this monster is definitely a Dolomedes tenebrosus female and it amazed Norm. If not slightly frightening him. That is Cheryl Lavers' finger out to the side of the spider.
