A spider that’s terrible at hiding
I just got a reply back from a buddy that is an actual publish arachnologist and he confirms it’s Zoropsidae (the false wolf spiders, and the family including the widley suggested Titiotus).
Thanks, I also thought it was a wolf or false wolf as well from some minor googling. I appreciate you reaching out to your friend for the expert opinion!
Don’t have an answer, but hope things are going well. I miss living there.
Looks like a wolf or false wolf spider. Good spiderbro.
Some species of American false wolf spider
Yeah, thought this too. Identified a similair looking spider with an app once.
Big nope vibes.
A harmless bro.
The bite like wolfies? Because I had one hit me like when bee sting when I scared her up.
Yeah, probably. A bee sting is a pretty good comparison for spider bites in general, though with a very low chance of alergic reaction compared to bees or wasps. And that’s really where the danger is.
Otherwise it will just hurt for a bit and then go away.
