Wolf Spiders
These hunting spiders are fast runners that will chase their prey. Wolf spiders are hairy and often large, up to 1-3/8 inches long, sometimes confused with tarantulas. Their legs are long and spiny. Many are dark brown.
Wolf spiders may hunt day and night. They usually occur outdoors, but may wander indoors in search of prey. They tend to stay at or near floor level. They typically construct web retreats in sheltered sites.
Females carry their large, globular egg sac attached to spinnerets under the abdomen. Upon hatching, the spiderlings climb onto their mother’s back and stay there several days or more before dispersing.
Wolf spiders frequently alarm homeowners because of their large size and rapid movements. Wolf spiders are not aggressive, but may bite if handled.

These are the types of spiders I get in my house. I live in a log cabin that has been added onto, and they love the dark wood. They get Huge!!!!!
But, it is kinda cool when I find one and scare it, cuz all them little babies jump off and you have hundreds of little dots scurrying all over the place. We have more outside then inside, but when they do come inside, I leave them alone.
