Park or Reserve, if applicable: Murrysville Community Park Wetlands
Photo file name : GreenFrog
Date of photo, if known : 5/27/15

Any comments? : As a Frogwatch USA citizen scientist, I heard and saw

Subject: Six-spotted Fishing Spider
Park or Reserve, if applicable: Murrysville Community Park Wetlands
Photo file name : FishingSpider

Any comments? : I saw this spider as I was looking over the bridge at
the far pond of the MCP Wetlands. It has 12 white spots on the top but
it is called a Six-Spotted Fishing Spider because of 6 black spots
underneath and it fishes for its prey.
