      I frequently get them in my nets. They are really hard to spot otherwise. Posted 3 years ago

The Six-spotted fishing spider

Dolomedes triton is an arachnid from the nursery web spider family Pisauridae. These spiders can be seen scampering along the water’s surface when a person walks by in which they are often referred to as dock spiders because they are often witnessed as they quickly vanish through the cracks of a boat dock.
