Thanks to everyone who helped locate my clients Huntsman. He's got it back albeit in a different color...
Sparassidae (formerly Heteropodidae) is a family of spiders known as huntsman spiders because of their speed and mode of hunting. They also are called giant crab spiders because of their size and appearance. Larger species sometimes are referred to as wood spiders, because of their preference for woody places (forest, mine shafts, woodpiles, wooden shacks). In southern Africa the genus Palystes are known as rain spiders or lizard-eating spiders. Commonly they are confused with baboon spiders from the Mygalomorphae infraorder, which are not closely related.
Customer requested a simple band with some contrasting stripes. This is what I came up with and Jay Nutini executed it. Green has some sparkle to it and the white is actually pearl white. Decided to leave this one on the backdrop, lit it a little darker and let the shadows just do their thing... I was also down one light because yours truly DROPPED the last bulb spare on the floor.

This spider's legspan is just a bit bigger than the palm of my hand. I'm not sure if this is really a wolf spider- I've just always called them that.
Edit: Finally identified as a huntsman spider- a type of giant crab spider.

I suspect that it is a calligaster... there are other plain ones of the same small size about 4mm long and semi transparent
