Possible Huntsman Spider - Selenops

Possible Huntsman Spider - Selenops
Sarasota, Sarasota County, Florida, USA
April 28, 2013
Size: 2"
Found in my bedcovers

Moved
Moved from ID Request. It's one of the Flatties in the genus Selenops. Don't worry, they aren't dangerous. Spiders are measured by body only, so this one was probably more like 1 cm?

 
Flattie
yes the body size was about 1cm...any idea what species? I wasn't afraid of it, just curious about ID.

Thanks

 
Flattie in FL
Well in FL it would be S. aissus, S. insularis, or S. submaculosus. I'm afraid I'm not sure how to distinguish between them at this time.

Thanks very much for your help, Lynette.
