Spider found - Rabidosa rabida

Rather docile and timid, didn't run too fast and hard blackened frontal legs.
A solid brown line on both sides and "chevron" on the thorax?

That's what I thought, given
That's what I thought, given that we've seen them a few times a year.
I had known Wolf's to be generally, harmless, but no more worse then the recluse I'm sure.

Wolf spider, Lycosidae
Hi there,
The image is a tad blurry, but from what I can see, this is a wolf spider. This must be a male, because usually wolves are pretty quick. This looks like a big one, too! He'll mind his own business and prove harmless.
Have a great day.
