It almost evaded capture it was so fast. I am fairly certain it is a type of Wolf or possibly a Fisher Spider, but because of it's size and the fact that I have just recently moved to FL (and have a 2 year old in the house), I REALLY want a positive ID on this one. I know it's not only of the three poisonous ones in FL (the widows and recluses), but a lot of our spiders can cause profound tissue destruction regardless. I just don't want anything happening to my little boy. Also, if anyone knows of any university based entomology web sites where photos can be submitted to for ID, please let me know. Many thanks!
