Fishing Spider
Dear Amy,
This is a Fishing Spider in the genus Dolomedes, most likely a White Banded Fishing Spider, Dolomedes albineus. Fishing Spiders get their common name because most species are associated with water and they are able to dive beneath the surface to escape predators as well as to hunt for fish, tadpoles and aquatic insects.
