Answer 1

it's a wolf spider. they can bite but aren't considered dangerous.

Answer 2

I always liked this chart (I got a LOT of spiders when I moved in).

BTW, the wolf spider is poisonous but not lethal, and medical attention should be sought for the elderly or children in particular (source: that web page).

The Brown Recluse (which if you do a google search, is also called the Fiddleback):

How to treat a Brown Recluse bite (never done this, but sounds good, just be sure to get medical attention, there are some nasty photos online of the damage the bugger can wreck....):

And the Brown Widow is being more common in your state apparently (not to scare you):

And someone mentioned this site:

I don't know if this is something you want to do or not, but to make myself feel better I made a pin board of spiders I caught using a large piece of cardboard and sewing needles. I labeled the board so others would know what it is, and wrote the date under each spider. I let friends and family know about it, and even wrote a short little note on it.

It sounds silly, but I was paranoid enough and the pin board doesn't hurt anyone. I figure if I fall mysteriously ill, a lab might be able to analyze the spiders known to live in my place. *shrug* Even if it's useless, it makes me feel better, so it works.

Answer 3

looks gross.

Sorry I'm no help!

The are in which you live will help you determine whether that spider is posionous!

GL!
