Fishing spider's first visit to the ocean with his friend the tiger beetle! He got bored with his riverside environment and the tales of the ocean from his friend got to his head and there they went ☀️🐟

a large fishing spider who has taken up residence at the pond! during the day she rests under the branches and rocks surrounding the water, and by night she can be seen waiting by the water's edge for prey, her forelegs extended over the water (I hope to photograph this behaviour one night!)

my friend found this wolf spider and was curious what type of wolf spider it is? location: nsw, australia
It's not a wolf spider! It's a fishing spider in the genus Dolomedes. But there are a few species that seem to have some overlap in markings, so I'm not positive which it is. D. vicque, D. briangreenei, and D. alexandri all appear to have individuals that look very similar to your friend here. I imagine someone more well versed in Australian spiders would be able to ID it more specifically.

a good example of a fishing spider hunting on the water's edge. this individual shares the pond with the massive female I posted previously, but is possibly a different species of Dolomedes.
Crafty fishing spider, juvenile (Dolomedes facetus).
