Mysteriously appeared on my leg when I was relaxing on a float in our pool. I live in NE Florida. I've searched everywhere and can't seem to locate it. I know it's not a brown recluse, looks similar to a wolf.

Can anyone ID it? Thanks.

Looks like a wolf spider to me too. Good hunters and not aggressive to humans. They will bite, but so will most things if you threaten them.

Definitely a wolf spider (family Lycosidae); the eye pattern is characteristic.

Thanks to all for your help with the ID. Will add it to the list of interesting critters found in my yard.
