Anyone who might be able to verify species of Pisauridae Dolomedes ... It appears to match closely in pattern and size. However, i cannot find a species description to match the yellow/mustard stripes on the cephalothorax and the two black dots at the anterior of the abdomen (and the stripes do not continue from the cephalothorax to the abdomen). So, any help would be appreciated.
