This spider was found in an apartment room located in the south eastern part of the Dominican Republic. It's probrally a wolf spider, right? If it is, what kind of wolf spider is it?

If the pics don't work, tell me please.

Thanks,

Frankie

Ok, case closed. It's a Hunstman spider. Particularly, a Tropical Huntsman spider. It's venom is not harmfull to humans even though they may look big and scary. Someone from that website just emailed me about it, Rainfrog.

Here's a link if anyone was also interested.
