A gew friends and i went hiking and found a cave. We went inside and found some big spiders! I took some video of it and svreen shot a spider. Searched google for the spider and could not find. So i figured i would try to submit it and maybe find out what kind it is.

Dear Tony,
Was the cave near a stream or other body of water? This is a Fishing Spider in the genus Dolomedes.
Yes it was! Fishing spider eh? Thank you so much. Was really hoping to find a new species, but its ok. Thank you so much for your help!
