What kind of spider is this?
http://i52.tinypic.com/dnfrs5.jpg
My uncle and I were cleaning the pool filters today and he lifted the bucket out and I saw this beast on the side, and told him to drop the bucket. at first I thought it was a tarantula, but then i thought that it wasnt because it wasnt big enough or hairy enough, even though it was both of those things.
If youre good with spider identification i would really appreciate a gander at this pic, thanks for the help!
totally not a wolf spider. no union jack impression on the back, black, and about 3 inches long. it was provoked alot when capturing it, and didnt seem to want to bite as much as want to flee

I honestly don't have an idea of what a 'union jack impression ' is, but the spider in the photo you posted is in fact a male member of the licosidae family, commonly called a wolf spider.
It's the eyes that give it away. (note my avatar)
Also, as you noticed, they are not necessarily aggressive. Females carrying young may be quick to defend themselves however.

I have simply determined a nest, in my lawn, of what looks to be one hundred's of little yellow and black spiders newly hatched...Never visible them earlier than in my lifestyles.... Being a little bit involved (Yellow and Black is customarily natures caution signal) I have performed a quantity of searches... After trawling the web it looks it probably be a form of Argiope (black and yellow lawn spider) nonetheless that's a US spider and I am dwelling within the UK... Further browsing indicates their is a 'Wasp Spider' that's determined in Contienial Europe and often the South Coast of England... Which continues to be a thriller as I reside within the Midlands(England - UK) that's miles from the any coast permit most effective the South Coast.... Should I be charging folks to come back and talk over with my Garden to peer this infrequent website online or is there a further form of spider out right here? They don't seem to be hazardous to folks are they I believe??? - my mum may be very anxiouis!!! Damon
