Lycosa Rabida?
I am NOT a bug expert. I posted an image a few days ago that looks (to my untrained eye--repeat NOT an expert!) almost exactly like this critter. Your's legs have slight banding at the joints, mine were uniform. But the cephalothorax markings are identical--right down to the striations in the dark stripes.



If yours isn't a rabida, I bet it's a cousin. :-)

Nope
That spider is not considered dangerous.
