If it had a leg span of 4 1/4 inches it was no D. scriptus.Hi just curious what's the largest dolomedes scriptus you have ever caught had or seen? I once caught a female who was with legspan of 4.25 inches. Just wondering if anyone has seem them bigger than this thanks.
Yes you posted on bugguide. I know the people who ID the spiders on that page. Lynette, who lives close to me and is a member of the seattle scarabs group, manages the arachnid section on bugguide.Listen I posted the pic of my spider experts looked at it from what they could tell it was scriptus they could be wrong I don't know. I will try and get the link for you that way you can look at it yourself because I would love to have a honest answer. When I posted pic of of her along with her size they did not say to me that's no way that's a scriptus they just thought it looked a lot like scriptus plus I find them under large rocks along a river from what I have read is tenenrosus likes more wooded areas by lakes but who knows I will try to get the pic for you theu do say tenebrosus can range a lot in color from state to state thanks take care.
They do like frogsHi yah I wasn't trying to be rude or anything I just want to know what species it is when you go onto bugguide website just type in dolomedes scriptus I just was on the website and she is the pic on the top row last on the right when you click on it my info should say this size of spider 3.5 inches City found in hutchinson state minnesota. Let me know if you find it keep in mind she shed her skin so she went from 3.5-4 inches that's legspan I know they go by body but I like legspan let me know what you think she is all I can say is I know for sure the size she was you can also go to youtube and type in fishing spider eating frog their is a couple of videos of fishing spiders eating frogs the one you want is the one where the spider is on a dock and a guy comes on and talks about its a creature feature its a real cool video plus she is the exact same species I have whatever that is.
