Dark fishing spider: Dolomedes tenebrosus

Dolomedes tenebrosus


I was enjoying a wonderful stroll through the garden when I came across a unique creature with eight hairy legs all stretched out to maybe four inches across. This arachnid was perched on his rock next to a crystal clear spring at Compton Gardens. The spider never moved as I approached with my camera, it was obvious that it was in stealth mode, ready to strike at any unsuspecting fishy fish.
