Never seen a spider like this around my area, found it by my door. Would like to know what it is, I think it might be a nursery web spider.

Thanks

Moved from ID Request. Yes, it's P. mira. Dolomedes fimbriatus is a European spider.

hmm..
Looks like a Raft spider (Dolomedes fimbriatus)
I'm not sure if Raft spiders and nursery webs are the same thing though
