We found this spider dead this morning in our backyard. We live in southeast Florida on the Gulf coast. Anyone know what it is?

This is a wolf spider (family Lycosidae) - see http://www.bugphotos.net/magnify.php?tf=/img2012a/sf2a.jpg for another example. These are active hunters with good eyesight that do not spin a capture web. Not at all dangerous to humans.
