Any help is much appreciated. I just moved to the Memphis area and in our salt water pool I’m finding about 5-10 of these every day. They don’t seem to be aggressive, but there enough to keep the wife on edge when in the pool.
I think it might be a wolf spider…but the ones I’m used to would be larger. These are maybe a quarter to half dollar size.
Hi. this is one of the wolf spiders, Lycosidae family. Not dangerous.
I find them stuck in pools or water,I simply pick them up and send them on their way. They will drown if stuck too long.
That is a lot of spiders, but their numbers will decrease now with human presence.
Not all wolf spiders are big, some can be quite small, fingernail size.
