I agree with Zack's ID suggestion. I forgot about that one!
Zack, making ID suggestions is not exclusive to those with experience. Project Noah is a community that includes people of all ages (including children). Any user is welcome to make ID suggestions. Sometimes people make mistakes or get a little enthusiastic.
We always request that users research their suggestions before making them. Users should also check ID suggestions made to make sure it is accurate before naming their spottings. It helps to reduce confusion and incorrect identification. However, as you have seen, it doesn't always happen.
Please be kind to other users. If you believe that something has been incorrectly identified. Make your suggestion, explain politely why you think it is different and include references. Hopefully, the user will take the time to confirm and correct their ID if they agree.
This certainly isn't a wolf spider. James' ID is totally wrong. Please remove it.
On a more respectful note, this is not P. undatus, ForestDragon.
People who aren't reasonably experienced with spider identification shouldn't be submitting incorrect and misleading IDs. It's just not right.
This looks like a species of jumping spider. It may be a young Platycryptus undatus but I am not 100% sure. Do you have any other images of this spider? http://bugguide.net/node/view/3354
