Portfolio / Wolf Spider passing by
 Wolf Spider Lycosa godeffroy

I mistook this one for a Brown Huntsman at first glance, but it is a Wolf Spider - and a pretty big one. They are far more poisonous than Huntsman Spiders (can kill dogs) and their eyesight is also much better. [180mm, f22, 1/100, ISO200].
