Banded Fishing Spider (Dolomedes vittatus) ♀ with Young At a dense mixed forest edge. This is the largest spider I&#039;ve seen (besides tarantulas)! She had some prey that I couldn&#039;t identify. The young were in a silken shelter (?) near mother spider and would flutter/rearrange themselves at the sound of my voice!<br /> <figure class="photo"><a href="https://www.jungledragon.com/image/100734/banded_fishing_spider_dolomedes_vittatus_with_young.html" title="Banded Fishing Spider (Dolomedes vittatus) ♀ with Young"><img src="https://s3.amazonaws.com/media.jungledragon.com/images/3231/100734_thumb.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=05GMT0V3GWVNE7GGM1R2&Expires=1759968010&Signature=hv5dsECdQmcBAiSs8gsSr1Eq6NQ%3D" width="200" height="134" alt="Banded Fishing Spider (Dolomedes vittatus) ♀ with Young At a dense mixed forest edge.
