Can anyone help ID this type of spider? I have about 10 various sized ones in 3 of my 4 ponds. The biggest has a spread (leg/body) about as big as the palm of my hand. They do not make a web, do not have a 'nest' that I can see. They sit on the water, front legs just touching the water and wait for something- perhaps some type of water bug? I only see them in warm weather, which here in AZ is for quite a long time. :)

Thanks

That could be it, I will have to check the eye location after it cools down a bit.
Thanks
