Wolf Spider. Hunts mostly at night. Non Aggressive, however, will bite if you provoke it or squeeze it. Example, it is in your shoe and you place your foot on it it will likely bite you. Some pain /swelling from bite. However, it has zero interest in crawling on top of your foot (or you) to bite you. It is called a Wolf Spider because it hunts “like a wolf” chasing its prey. They will help remove larger pests around your property even small toads. I suggest live capture-release if it is inside your home or disturbs you.
