What is cranberry bog spider?

As an AI language model, I do not have personal views but following is the information about Cranberry Bog Spider:

The cranberry bog spider (Dolomedes triton) is a species of fishing spider found in North America. It is also known as the Raft spider because it can walk on water and create a raft from air bubbles to move across the surface of the water.

Adult cranberry bog spiders can grow up to 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) in body length and have a leg span of up to 4 inches (10.2 cm). Males are slightly smaller than females. They have dark brown or black bodies with a white stripe running down the middle of their bodies.

These spiders are commonly found in boggy areas, marshes, and wetlands and are often associated with cranberry bogs. They feed on small aquatic insects, crustaceans, and even small fish and tadpoles.

Cranberry bog spiders mate in the spring and the female will lay her eggs in cocoon-like sacs made of silk. The young spiders will hatch in the summer and spend their first winter in the safety of their mother's sac.

Though cranberry bog spiders are not considered dangerous to humans, they are known to bite if they feel threatened. Their bites may cause some mild swelling and discomfort but are not usually serious.
