I found this thing at work it’s the size of a padlock and looked solid black but I was scared and ran
Yes it looks like a Wolf Spider. No need to run, spiders won’t pursue you, they prefer us to be further away from them.
This thing chased me around work! And a couple days ago ny manager found one 3x that size
Really? I did have one male that wouldn’t stop clinging to my finger this week. I tried to take it out of a pool with my hand. I’ve had insects like a male sphinx moth cling weirdly to me. I wonder if arthropods get attracted to the smell of an opposite gender mammal… they are more attractive than some of the male primates that have followed me around.
