So This is Charlotte.. she just made a huge egg sack and no idea what species of spider this is. Any oppinions? Deadly non deadly? Sorry for the shitty focus. my phone sucks with close ups and I'm not brave enough to open the lid to get a good shot.
PS: the picture may be a bit deceiving as the spider itself is only about an inch long.. I caught it in the house and its web is solid white and does have a few funnels... I'm assuming since it made an egg sack that its a full adult and won't get much bigger.

lol unless its got a fiddle shaped design on its back its not a brown recluse, but i do agree it could very well be a wolf spider ESPECIALLY if your up north since most brown recluses are more to the south, but if it IS a wolf spider you should still get rid of it AND the eggs because wolf spider (though not very poisonous, all spiders are poisonous to some degree) have a viscious bite that hurts VERY much so yeah ^^;; toss it out FAAARRR away from home....and the eggs if you cant get them out safely sadly crush them LAST thing you need is a house full of wolf spiders
I can't see the thorax that clearly, but the darker coloring on the edges of the abdomen suggests this a brown recluse.
If that's the case, this is a very dangerous spider. I was bitten about 12 years ago and was immediately treated for it. I still have a dime-sized scar from it.
Even though the thorax is blurry, I believe I can make out the violin shape on the thorax where the neck of the violin points to the rear end of the spider. Light on either side of dark.
I'm about 70% sure based on what I see here

It does look like a brown recluse, not a good spider to have around. I would get rid of it outside somewhere, and for heavens sake don't get bit by it!
I have been bitten by one and it is not fun, their venom runs through your system making you have flu like symptoms (fever, chills) then the skin around the bite area tends to blister up. If you don't get it taken care of right away things get worse like having a nasty hole in your skin because their venom eats away at the skin, I had a bite on my leg and had to go in to the medical center to have them clean my wound ever week for nearly 6 months! I am left with an ugly scar on my leg as a result. Best to get rid of it just to be on the safe side.
