? spider - Pisaurina mira
South West Quebec near Ontario border, Quebec, Canada
August 1, 2005
Size: roughly 2.5-3.5cm dia
One of the largest spiders I've seen locally.

I've also got many other insect images needing IDing at http://www.pbase.com/sdwinsor/macro
If anyone can help with this I'd be most grateful.
