This Wolf(?) Spider decided to pay us a visit at work today. I'm just glad that more level-headed people were on hand rather than someone who might squish it. I shoo'ed it to a safer dark corner, and it came right back. 10 minutes later it was in our office exploring.
It was amazingly calm. It moved away from things nearly touching it, but it would hold still for pictures and posings. We convinced it to sit on the paper so that it wouldn't blend in to the floor, then we placed a quarter next to it for comparison. It just sat there and waited patiently!
So much fun to text this picture to all the females I know...

I'm goin with common funnel-web spider, although a lot of people call them wolf spiders especially if seen apart from their webs. Some people will call the more common species in this family grass spiders, as well, and although proper grass spiders themselves are one of the five hundred species of araneomorph funnel-web spiders that this beauty you found is probably in, proper wolf spiders are an all together different spider.
It makes me happy to hear that more and more people aren't instantly terminating these wonderful creatures on site for fear that every single spider out there is plotting human doom with strategically placed painful and deadly bites, all with vicious ill will and intent for all but their own kind.
