Spider - Dolomedes tenebrosus

Spider - Dolomedes tenebrosus
Lawrence County, Indiana, USA
June 1, 2008
Size: Approx 2 inch legspan
This large spider was hanging out on a small tree in hardwood forest. Size is estimated (it was really large).

Is this a wolf spider, or something else?

Moved
Moved from Fishing Spiders.

Moved
Moved from Frass.

Thanks. Good to know what it is, as I've seen several this year.

 
We don't see any reason to Frass this -
It seems like a perfectly good image and we only have one other image from Indiana. We would suggest cropping it a little tighter and then moving it to Dolomedes. We love the location, showing how they hide out in cracks in trees!

Not a Wolf
This is a Fishing Spider. Looks like Dolomedes genus. Maybe D. tenebrosus
