This spider was found at doorway to patio . There are 5 or 6 more of the same size and some baby spiders as well. Would this be a wandering spider or wolf spider?

Brown widow spider
I don’t think so, the legs are too wide and hairy. It looks more like a Wolf Spider.
It does look like a wolf spider except the abdomen marking were slightly different from a wolf . The pic makes it difficult to see that part of the spider.
Oh my , I hope not. I have been very I’ll from a spider bite for 5 months now. Nerve pain , heartrate high and much more but the bite site progressed like a drown recluse. This appears to be a wandering spider. There were 5 or 6 on the glue trap and alot of babies. It had similar wolf spider markings except the abdomen was not like the wolf spider.
Hi, see above image for ID. 🙂
Are they harmful to people?
They’re not considered to be of medical significance – I don’t know how well their venom has been studied though. Because they belong to a family of spiders that does contain some medically significant species (genus Phoneutria) it is recommended to treat larger individuals in this family with respect to be on the safe side. Everyone’s immune system is different.
