what in the world is this

Alright so I found this guy on my speaker last night. Well actually my
"insanely afraid of spiders" wife found it. So I grabbed my camera cuz I knew this would be the perfect place to find out what it is. Sorry for the crappy pic. I'm not to comfy with spiders either.

I just realized that I forgot to mention where I am from. I am in central cali.

Thanks,
Scott

hard to tell...
id say wolf spider

that guy is a beast!!

spawn of satan

It is a member of the Lycosoidea superfamily for sure. My guess would be that it is either a wolf spider or a nursery web spider. Both deliver painful bites, but only if sorely provoked. Neither are considered dangerous. :)
