Fishing spider (likely)

Near ponds, streams, marshes, and other wet areas; often on vegetation or water surfaces.

Predatory; eats insects and other small invertebrates, and some species catch small aquatic animals.

Usually hunts without a web, sensing movement on water and diving or skating to capture prey. Females carry egg sacs and guard spiderlings.

Not considered dangerous to people; bites are uncommon and typically mild. Helps control insect populations.
