Spotted this spider while rescuing tadpoles from a seasonal pond that was drying out. We didn't see it dive, but the camera caught it! You can hear the family trying to figure out where it went because none of us noticed as it dove under the water. Blink and you'll miss it. But you can always back up the video and get another chance to see.
These spiders get up to twice this size in the Lower 48, but this is a huge spider for Fairbanks. In 35 years living here, this is the first time I've seen one of these. What a lovely discovery!
