Size: Approx, 2.5 cm in length.
I think this guy is the Wolf Spider Hogna Antelucana. As you can tell, he's/she's not feeling very well. But I was thrown off by the orange on the underside of his/her abdomen.

I'm filing this as H. carolinensis, but that's a tentative ID. I don't yet know why some of these have orange ventrals, time may tell that they're another species. If in time we find that's the case we'll let you know.
