Harmless ... I'm like a lot of folks that have phobia's ... Mine are snakes ... But I will admit I have learned and to accept them in my old age ... I no longer kill Garter snakes ... ... But only the bad boys that are in my space ... That is when S&W .357 takes over ... I know it is illegal ... Do to the eco system ... But when they are on my deck/dock or pond entrance they are Gone !!

As far as spiders ... I have handled tarantulas at the Washington Zoo ... and even talked my wife to rubbing one while I held it ... Harmless ... Spiders are the worse feared species ... I don't understand WHY ... There are only Two bad boys (spiders) in our state. So you need to learn what they are ... Brown Recluse and Black widow .. Like snakes ... not all are bad ...

Most people have phobias To me a big yellow and black wood spider making a web is art ... We are talking the size of a half a dollar ...

So take a breath ... Did I ever tell you about the time a water snake wrapped my leg while I was Trout fishing the Caney Fork with my Grand Daughter ... Walk on water I'm coming Home Jesus !!! Yep I actually did ...

Most don't bother me, just those two you mentioned. I wanted to make sure it's not a recluse. I grew up with pet snakes and had friends with tarantulas so most creepy crawlers I am good with. I have 5 cats.... Yes my wife and I are crazy cat people! So I'm not used to seeing unwanted pest in my house the cats do a great job of taking care of any bugs that wander in. I was disappointed In them tonight.

pretty sure thats a juvenile wolf spider

That is most definitely without a doubt an eight toed death dealer. They can run very fast, jump, spit and even in rare cases been known to use their cloaking power to disappear then reappear in another room of the house without warning.

I will be praying for you...

Oh yeah, I walked in last night after work and a couple moths flew in the back door and all hell broke loose for a few minutes. My cats run to the back door when they hear me pull in like dogs, it's pretty amusing.

Not a recluse....but as far as I am concerned...they are all deathly poisonous and can kill me and are all planning to kill me.

Yes, the paratroopers are by far some of the worst! I hope they slowly drowned as all eight legs scratch the surface of their watery grave.
