Unknown Spider - Dolomedes albineus
Brentwood, Williamson County, Tennessee, USA
September 19, 2015
These spiders were remarkably well camouflaged. Both individuals were about four feet off the ground on tree trunks. I would appreciate any help on identifying them. Eyeshine was bluish.

Moved to Dolomedes albineus
Moved from Spiders. Cute little immature "whitebanded fishing spider," nice shots!

Mandy, there are a bunch of even younger guys
in a folder called Unidentified Juveniles if you have an eye for them. Thanks

juveniles
I checked through those and can't be sure about any of them, sorry! Some definitely look like Dolomedes triton, but then there is also D. striatus that I assume would be similar, if not the same, as juveniles. Tough ones. I only got lucky with this green one because the front of the carapace is raised, best visible in the 2nd photo, and then the mossy green is also a typical D. albineus color. (Mostly it was the raised carapace in the eye region that caught me, though; the other pisaurids don't seem to have that.)

But even separating the
Dolomedes from the Pisaurina would be a great help. Thanks for trying
