This is my dark fishing spider, Dolly. Her name comes from her scientific name, Dolomedes tenebrosus. I found her in my basement last August and she’s been my buddy ever since! She made an egg sac in February that she fervently protected for 2 months until I could finally snatch it from her. The eggs were inert and she was refusing food, holding the egg in her jaws around the clock.
