Dolomedes, maybe Whitebanded - Dolomedes albineus
Atchison County, Missouri, USA
July 5, 2007
Size: Body 1" long
Judging from the eye arrangement, and the way it's carrying its eggsac, this seems to be a fishing spider of some kind. It looks a lot like a whitebanded, but I couldn't get a good shot of its abdomen before it literally bounced away.

Thanks
I was hoping I had guessed right, but I wasn't sure. Nice to know I had it correct! Thank you!
