User's notes

Bluett's Block nocturnal survey. The first 3 photos are of the same spider that had caught a dragonfly nymph by the look of it. The other 2 are of other spiders on the same pond. I'm assuming same species, but if not and need to be separated into different records, please let me know.

They do look to be the same species, I believe the same as this one I confirmed yesterday too Dolomedes (genus) (Fishing spider)
I believe them to be Dolomedes briangreenei or Dolomedes alexandri.
