This spider, found near Odessa Missouri, is about 4" wide with a large body. I can't imagine it being too exotic yet can't find it on any website.

Thanks

Dave

This is a fishing spider (family Pisauridae) in the genus Dolomedes; possibly Dolomedes scriptus - see http://tinyurl.com/28v62vz for an example. Your appears to be a gravid female that may be getting ready to construct an egg sac and deposit her eggs.
