That looks like a Dolomedes Triton .. otherwise known as the six spotted fishing spider, the name nursery spider is just a loose term...

@7777dmith7777 It's a Dolomedes Minor, one of four New Zealand Dolomedes species. Although they have aquatic abilities, they aren't specifically found around water and they are Nurseryweb Spiders.

Nice video, from what i've gathered though Dolomedes are regarded as fishing spiders and nursery web spiders are Pisaura sp.

I may be wrong though i just havent heard of Dolomedes sp. being regarded as Nursery webs :)

Thanks for that, I know hand-feeding is fun, although I do it occasionly I never quite get used to the rapid movement ( It sometimes gives Me a little fright). Haha. I've seen a couple of Your Dolomedes videos, quite impressive.
