Our Aversion to Snakes and Spiders

It's not clear enough to tell, and I'm probably not familiar enough to know the difference anyhow, but I'm thinking maybe a wolf spider. They are among the most common large spider that really wants to live in your home. If so, while they look dangerous and do produce venom, they are harmless to people. Rather than relying on webs to trap prey, they roam your house seeking out ants, cockroaches, and insects, but are more often found in crawlspaces, basements, or rarely accessed places.

The pest control service was here ~10 days ago because “things” now seem to want in the house where it’s comfortable. I think this one got disturbed from the crawlspace.

It wasn’t moving all that fast. Probably its size kept it from being wiped out from the pesticide. It was too big for me to smash, even if I had wanted to kill it, which I did not.

I have seen wolf spiders, and yes, this could’ve been one. It could also be what they call a grass spider because it had stripes around its legs like a grass spider does. Either way I was able to get it in a pail and heave the pale and all outside into the yard. The lid flew off so it got out maybe it died outside I don’t know. I just know I’ve lost my appetite for several days. 😂😂
