Nursery Web and Fishing Spiders (Pisauridae)

This includes besides the very common nursery web spider, the spiders we usually call fishing spiders. All of the fishing spiders are found near water, while the nursery web spiders can be found near water or along woodland edges. Some of the members of this group are very large, up to 25mm.
