    This spider jumped out at me when I was taking down the artificial Christmas tree. Can anyone identify it?

    I suspect it is a Wolf Spider of some one kind or the other. Maybe a young one.

    I asked our entomologist to give his opinion. This might be a huntsman spider. Without the actual specimen to confirm the identity, this should only be considered a tentative ID.

    If you search the internet, you will find that there are many different species of huntsman spiders and crab spiders (Family Sparassidae), and they don't all look alike.

What kind of spider is this? [ 4 Answers ]

I got two of these in my backyard. I've done some research but can't seem to find any spider that looks like this. I'm thinking it's some type of orb-weaver because it does spin a web in a circular pattern. Also, is it poisonous? If so, how potent is the venom towards people and dogs?
