hard to tell but it looks like a regular ole wolf spider, if so no problem they hunt other critters

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.

Looks like a regular "wood spider"...common to the area and heading indoors, for the winter. They kinda' look nasty but they're basically harmless. I repeat....it LOOKS like one, I'm not guaranteein' s**t. Sounds like some relatively harmless laundry voyeurism going on here...let 'im watch.

He's pretty big, which I'm guessing means he's probably kinda' old....which means he's managed to keep from gettin' swatted or stepped-on for a while...which I havta' take as meanin' he's probably pretty smart....so I don't think I'd really want to p**s him off too much!

Either a common brown house spider or a female hobo spider.

Young male hobo spiders are poisonous. They suck. We've been bit twice by male hobo spiders...hubby once, and me once.

Looks like family Lycosidae, based on the body type and shape. Wolf spiders are in this family: Here's an example.

Yours looks like a female. They typically hunt down their prey and are considered agile hunters. They are capable of biting in defense, but their venom typically only produces mild swelling, itching and mild pain.

Since they hunt other critters less beneficial, they're actually good to have around.

Yeah looks like a wolf spider to me, they are all over here in Florida, we actually had one big enough once, that it sounded like a mouse tick tick ticking on the walls, my ex shined a flashlight down the hall and you could see its eyes in the flash light...BIG FRIGGIN SPIDER.... not too mention I am terrified to the point of walking across your face to get away from the smallest one... it was an interesting night. Especially when my ex decided to chase it through the house (which at the time was an older single wide trailer) with a lighter and can of hairspray..... In the end, my ex won, and the dead spider was as big as my ex's hand...

Keep it around. They kill insects like cockroaches and ants that would otherwise damage and infest your house.

it's a brown recleuse... don't worry... they're harmless.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

No, that's my coworker. I see how you can make such a mistake though.

It looks like a "Brown Fishing Spider". Body length about an inch. Legs about 3 inches, for the female.

Pretty creepy, I've captured them and released them ouside.

An url describing the beast, from Penn State

Capturing them can be interesting. A large-mouth bottle, a piece of paper, and total focus. Slowly approach them with the bottle, you've got one chance, closer, closer, then *wham* put the bottle over them. Then put the piece of paper under the opening, and turn the whole thing over. Then take them outside and let them go. Gotta be kinda careful with them cause they can create quite a splatter if you smash them.
