What kind of spider is this?
Hi Bugman!
Attached is a spider that was found at 6 mile lake Muskoka, Ontario Canada. It was 5" sitting. Please tell us…What kind of spider is this?
Thank you.

Dear Creative Staff,
This is a Dolomedes Fishing Spider. They are capable of running across water and diving beneath the surface, and occasionally catch small fish.
