I'd say it was a female ready to lay eggs.

Sorry, but if I see it.......I'll name it dead twice! It would look like a grease spot with a leg or two coming out of it!

I wouldn't stick around to get a pic!

You ought not fear anything,respect yes,fear,no.

This is not a Wolf Spider, but a similar looking spider, common name is Dark Fishing Spider, scientific name is Dolomedes tenebrosus, sometimes also referred too as a Six Spotted Fishing spider.

No not really, but I was a Cub Scout leader and we did a lot of research on spiders for a scout project, I do have a several good field guide books on many subjects as well as spiders, I originally bought the books to teach my kids what to look for or be careful of when out in the wilds, Lions, Tigers and Bears OH MY!!!LOL..., my kids and my Cub Scouts learned well about nature, good and bad.

I found the ID of the OP's Dark Fishing spider in my field guide and then found the above info on the web to post here.

I'm a big guy and I really don't mind spiders as long I know they're there,...when they get on me unannounced, I then do the girly thing until I regain my composure!!!

I've been bitten by a brown recluse in the back in my sleep once. Despite that, there is no reason to fear something so interesting. Keep your hands out of their webs and they will leave you alone.

Handsome critter . . . if you can get past the AAAAAAGGGHHHH! phase.

We get some big 'ol wolf spiders hereabouts. And these little guys that startle the crap out of me. Parson Spiders. Shorter legs but stockier body and they move quick!



Harmless and actually beneficial as they eat bugs and insects.

ok now I got the creepy crawly feeling all over. In my line of work I sometimes have to crawl into some pretty nasty places but I do not look for them anywhere except where I am crawling to. seeing one does not bother me as long as they get out of my way BUT! if one gets on me I will scream like a little girl and get out of there as fast as my 32 inch legs can move me.

Back in the day, I was quite the hot rodder. We'd go to junk yards and folks homes with acreage looking for that set of head, or tranny that would boost the car(s) I was working on.

I was after a tranny under an old Z28 and slid under it on my back and began the uninstall. What I didn't realize was that I'd rubbed my chest/stomach across a mess of spider sacs that were close to hatching. When I started feeling the little critters on my arms and legs (wearing shorts), I slid out from under the car.. and did like Papalittle "BUT! if one gets on me I will scream like a little girl and get out of there as fast as my 32 inch legs can move me.".

I'm glad someone put this post up. I saw this little guy the other day putting up fence and I was wondering if anyone knew what kind it was. It's was about 1 1/2" long. Thanks ahead of time for any feedback.
