creek-side dwelling spider
I understand you are very busy, but I thought I had correctly identified this spider (found on the banks of a creek with numerous individuals scampering about the rocks as well) found in western Pennsylvania. I had suspected that this was a fishing spider, but another individual from our organization alerted me that it was incorrectly identified. So, I did a little more research and came up with a second guess: shore spider ( Pardosa milvina ) of the wolf spider family. Is that correct? Thank you very much,
Kylie
