Pisauridae spider

Evans County, Georgia

A spider from the fishing spider family, Pisauridae.
Uncertain as to whether to call it Dolomedes sp. or Pisaurina sp.
This large spider holds her egg case with her chelicerae until
the young hatch. She then builds a nursery web around the egg
case which will protect the young.
