Picture of unidentified spider

Comments & ID Thoughts

Found this two nights ago in our living room just crawling across the middle of the wall. It was lightly dimmed in the room which is why I’m thinking it felt safe enough to even come out to begin with. Talk about wanting to have a heart attack when I saw it, as I’m scared to death of spiders! But I absolutely had to kill the ugly thing rather then knowing it was running around my home alive!! Ugh!

Any ideas of what kind of spider this may be exactly? The best guess I could come up with by researching pics was a “Grass Spider,” that’s what it looks the most like to me anyways!

We have those all over here in Tecumseh. Everyone calls them wolf spiders. ‍

Hi. This is one of the wolf spiders, Lycosidae family. Given your location and the striking patterns on this,
I am confident this is Rabidosa rabida species, the rabid wolf spider. They are not dangerous at all, mishandled, they can have a hefty bite.

A key feature that separates these from Agelenids is their eye pattern, almost unique.

A good ref for size,Brett’s notes briefs their behavior well.
