Your spider, no. 0159, is probably a species of Dolomedes, i.e., a  
fishing spider or raft spider or "Jesus Christ spider" (so-called  
because runs on water surface) or nursery-web spider -- latter name  
is the name of the family group to which all fishing spiders belong  
-- Dolomedes species can be very large with big leg-spans and very  
quick-moving -- they occur along lakeshores or edges of streams.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
