Arachne

Greek mythology is responsible for the spider getting its name. The princess Arachne challenged the goddess Athene to a weaving contest. When Arachne lost, she was turned into a spider and destined to weave forever. [link]



Thanks so much to ~pitbulllady I now know what kind of spider this is I hate not knowing these things as I like to give links for people to learn about the creatures I take pics of. Plus, I love learning about them myself Anyways, it is a Six-spotted Fishing Spider (Dolomedes triton)
just click on the name and you can learn all about him/her
