Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

I occasionally found these spiders roaming around my house, indoors and outdoors, in Santa Barbara, California. I've never seen them in a web. The spider pictured here is about 2 inches (5 cm) across from leg-tip to leg-tip, or a little smaller than that. I suspect that it is a Wolf spider but I'm not sure.

Yep! This is a kind of wolf spider. Totally harmless little guys 🙂

Thanks! I get like one of these per year inside my house and used to freak me out. I always thought it was a brown recluse so I would smack them. Lately I started to suspect I might be wrong so I came here to check. I guess now I can start catching them and putting them outside instead 🙂
