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.

And from Norm's area one of the color forms of Pisaurina mira. Rich orangish here. And with her hefty eggsac. Normally these have a broad stripe on the abdomen but there are several brownish and orangish color forms apparently.
