Sorry for poor picture quality. Found in France. Never seen anything like it.

You’re hurting his leg :( (Pretty sure it’s a male Eratigena atrica)
Friendly spiderbro, very common.
Thanks! It isvery likely a Eratigena Atrica. The pattern on its back is identical. I safely released it in the garden.
Moving an indoor spider outside typically leads to their death. What you did here is basically throw a spider to the wolves. If you can’t deal with a spider indoors and you feel obligated to do something about it but have ethical feelings or whatever, the better thing to do is simply and quickly squish it.
But, it’s a spider, so whatever.
It looks to me like a wolf spider, but I am by no means an expert.
Nah. Wolf’s are stockier
They’re named wolf spiders because they physically hunt and chase down their food. Like a tarantula their size/strength is how they get food, so their builds are similar. It also makes them almost impossible to catch with a glass like this, fuckers can move.
It looks to me like it could be a brown recluse, but if OP doesn’t live where they do, it’s likely just a random ass house spider that’s no big deal.
Could you nsfw this? Not keen on seeing giant spiders randomly pop up on my feed
Sorry about that
Np, thanks friend :3
It might be a Tegenaria gigantea or some wolf variant such as the Hogna Radiata though it is really hard to tell from the pic.
Where do you live?
Very few spiders cover the whole world, but that looks close enough to a brown recluse that you should’ve killed it immediately if you’re anywhere that could even potentially have them.
They’re not normal spiders, if you get bit by one it will fuck you up bad. A bite could result in dead tissue almost a foot wide within days, and take months to heal even with medical treatment. They’re not going to run at you and attack you, but you don’t want these roaming around you house.
If the body has that light brown with dark brown in it, they get squashed. And not with a paper towel or tissue, take the time to go get a shoe or a hardcover book. It ain’t worth the risk.
But again, they’re pretty much only in a chunk of America that isn’t really densely populated, so it really matters where you’re at.

Have you been banned for a month and only came back today?. Or simply been inactive and this pissed you up so hard that you just had to react?

I just wanted to see if i could find a reason why you are overreacting like this. I guess there isn’t.
Thanks for the answer. Living in France. I didn’t hear of dangerous species of spiders here. But this one had me look twice.
Yeah. I have no idea what spiders are in France.
A good way to figure it out is find a website with a list of dangerous spiders for your area, and ideally the most common spiders confused for them.
Chances are you’ll see something like yours on the list.
Trapped.
A big one. Once, I got surprised by a big one like that on my way to the bathroom in the middle of the night, I freaked out and let it escape… under my bed… couldn’t find it. I couldn’t go back to sleep.
