TROLOMEDES MINOR DOLOLOL

[TheEmuTyrant]

@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.

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

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 :)

I'd love to have one, I think I'm going to make it and Hogna carolinesis my next spiders. I love large true arachnids, and I miss my Tegenaria gigantea. :(

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.
