What is it

[RobnBig]

Hey I found this on a tree when I was in the Dominican Republic. What kind of spider is it? I couldn't find any t's.

Neat looking spider. I have no idea what it is though. Hopefully someone else will!

Not sure. Reminds me of the nursery web guys we get around here. Good luck with the ID though.

It looks like some kind of wolf spider to me.

Its a type of huntsman spider. Not sure what type. While they do look like wolf spiders, you can always tell by the leg length and positioning. A close up of the eyes will always differentiate between the two. These are pretty much harmless, but do a great job of chowing down on the critters roaming around.

I think it resembles the wolf spider, but just like ipreventdeath said the leg position looks like something else as well! Goodluck!!

Wolf Spiders and Huntsman Spiders look very similar. The easiest way to tell the difference is by eye size, shape and positioning.
