fishing spider?
Hello,
I think this is the fishing spider that I see a few pictures of, on your site. However, the ones I read said Maryland and Nova Scotia for locations and I am in southwest Louisiana. It was found in the greenhouse where I work, so it could have come from another state. Most likely it would have been from Florida. Is this a fishing spider? What region are they found in? Any information would be helpful. Thank You,
Ken

Hi Ken,
This is a Dolomedes Fishing Spider. We located a checklist of Louisiana spiders that indicates six species documented in Louisiana.
