Dolomedes tenebrosus
The females are 15 to 26 millimeters in length; males are 7 to 13 millimeters. Both sexes are brownish-gray in color with black and lighter brown markings.
most live near water and have been reported to catch small fishes and aquatic insects from the water as they walk on the surface. The species is more frequently associated with wooded areas (it would be more accurately classified as a tree-dwelling spider) and is a common household invader in these locations. It occurs from New England and Canada south to Florida and Texas.
