What kind of spider is this?

Sobralia, Brazil

Saw this spider one day and decided to stay away from it. But I’m curious about what it is! Anyone know? Is it venomous?

Difficult to be certain from this image, but a likely suspect would be a wolf spider (family Lycosidae) -

Certainly does not look like anything dangerous to humans. Just FYI, with the exception of the family Uloboridae, all spiders have venom glands and this at least technically are considered venomous. However, only a handful of species are of medical significance. See the 'sticky' on spider bites at the top of this forum.
