Hi there. This looks like a fishing spider to me (Dolomedes sp.), so I've cleared the common/scientific name fields. You had "wood spider" in the common name area and "Sparassidae" in the scientific name area (those are the giant crab spiders). Anyway, I've moved this to Arthropods and ticked the "help me ID" box. Look into Dolomedes and hopefully someone will be able to help you out. Thanks and keep on spotting! :-)
