To celebrate this year’s Independence Day the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Daniel Shapiro, and his wife Julie Fisher hosted a reception at their residence. Over 2,000 guests enjoyed American food from McDonalds, Dominos, Ben and Jerry’s and more. The guests were entertained by the Israeli Conservatory of Music Jazz Ensemble and the U.S. Military Quartet “Winds Aloft.” Hagit Yassu (winner of Israel’s singing competition “Kokhav haNolad”) and Dr. Eric Huntsman (a visiting American professor from Brigham Young University) sang the national anthems. Supreme Court Justice Elena Kagan, U.S. Ambassador Daniel Shapiro, and Israeli President Shimon Peres addressed the crowd. Prime Minister Netanyahu offered a video greeting (an injury prevented him from being present).

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.

This shot of a Huntsman Spider was taken after I put it outside, on a house brick (you can just see the edges, top and bottom of the photo, to give you an idea of size). This one is a Banded Huntsman - not all of them have the markings on their legs.
I suspect that it is a calligaster... there are other plain ones of the same small size about 4mm long and semi transparent
One of the reasons I prefer powder. You breath on fresh paint wrong and you can scratch it... When I work on them, I make sure to keep them well padded to avoid and dumb mistakes (it's happened...).

HUNTSMAN OR WOLF SPIDER?
This was a good 2-3". Found it on a coconut tree at Paseo by the Statue of Liberty in Agana, Guam.
This poor huntsman has a parasitic larvae on it's back. The spider might not be aware of the parasite until it is too late where the larvae would trigger the spider into committing suicide by wrapping itself. Certain wasps are known to bury their eggs on spiders so the larvae can have limitless food supply.
