Wonder if it was one of those =E2=80=9Cfishing=E2=80=9D spiders =
(Dolomedes).  They get pretty big.  Don=E2=80=99t know of any pure black =
ones, though.

Hi All=20

Saturday we were canoeing on a little lake - Skunk Lake

its named I think. They must have been running low on names

when the namers got to that one!

Anyway as we were coming in the gunnel of the canoe brushed

on a branch of a bush that was hanging out over the water.

Something black fell in the canoe from the branch. I first thought a =
mouse

but when I saw it closely it was a big black spider. About 3 cm long

with 6 big legs. I never thought we had spiders that big of any colour

in Nova Scotia. When we got ashore I took it in my hand and put it in

a bush. A pretty fellow he was - would make a good pet.

Does anyone know what species it might be? Are they rare

in NS or has my observations been spotty?

Enjoy the fall

Paul
