Dock (Fishing) Spider (followup on previous spider blog entry)

In a previous blog post- I promised to catch one of the big spiders in my boat house - finally got one last night (or he got me - since he crawled on my hand in the dark and I kept trying to flip him off - until I turned on the light and saw him (then I tried to get away from him :)

I had to review my notes from previous blog entry to find out that this spider has two names - dock spider and fishing spider.

If you google dock spider or fishing spider you can see pictures that match my friendly spider plus - there are web pages that describe them e.g. these spiders walk on water - can dive to catch small tadpoles or small fish - they are harmless.
