Small ground spider (likely a wolf spider)

Ground-level habitats such as leaf litter, lawns, gardens, and beneath stones or debris; some wander indoors.

Predatory; hunts insects and other small invertebrates.

Most are active hunters rather than web builders. Females commonly carry their egg sacs and later their spiderlings.

Generally harmless to people and not medically significant; bites are uncommon and usually mild. Beneficial for controlling insect pests.
