Found this guy in my house just now. :yikes: It's the biggest spider I have ever seen alive that wasn't a tarantula. I'm not even sure what it is. It's a good 3" to 4" long with the legs. nojoke

Looks like a wolf spider to me. They carry their babies on their abdomin. Very cool but they do bite. Save those fingertips, Lamonster!!!!

I wouldn't be sticking my finger too close to that one either. It does look pretty mean.

Try this chart. Having seen it in person it may help you ID it.

Definitely a Wolf Spider. They look a lot worse than they are!

At my house, that would be called a DEAD spider...... but it does look like a wood spider....

A few years ago, one of those huge things nearly scared me to death :yikes: . . . it was perched above the curtain rod and when I opened the curtains, it ran (jumped?) :ani29: down the sheers curtains and disappeared under the bed! Needless to say, the hunt was on! One of us had to go . . . it was either him or me!

Wolf Spiders ...venomous - non-aggressive

http://www.termite.com/images/wolfspider150.gif

Venom toxicity - the bite of the Wolf Spider is poisonous but not lethal. Although non-aggressive, they bite freely if provoked and should be considered dangerous to humans. The bite may be very painful. First aid and medical attention should be sought as soon as possible, particularly as to children or the elderly
:roflblack:
At least its NOT lethal?:roflblack:

Looks like a Wolf Spider - wonder how hard they bite?

My tarantulas shoot hairs when they get scared or mad. They stick in you like little cactus needles and make you itch.

It is a harmless spider, unlike the Spyder that we have. It likes to eat insects, and other small criters that come witin its path. What a beautiful creature, let it go on its way.
