What kind of spider is this?
Need to know what this is.. have killed 5 to 6 in my house in past 2 day and dont know what ot is
This is a wolf spider in the family Lycosidae. I think it’s a rabid wolf spider, Rabidosa rabida. They are generally not very dangerous (the venom is not significant for most people), but some people have a bad reaction to their venom. They are also fast and nonaggressive, so they try to avoid confrontation with people.
