The Raft spider

The raft spider, ''Dolomedes fimbriatus'', is a European spider of the family Pisauridae. The raft spider is one of the two largest spiders in the United Kingdom. Like other ''Dolomedes'' spiders it hunts by running on the surface of water, and can submerge altogether to hide from predators.
