Hey vg ive had this fellow chilling out over my bead for about a week and a half now. Was wondering if you could help identify it. I dont think its dangerous but I am slightly worried. Location is na southern california in oarnge count. City rancho santa margerita. It is about the size of a quarter which is why I am worried. I dont want to move it if it isnt dangerous
Totally meant to call you guys /an im not sure what better pictures to take as I dont want to disturb it. Here is another attempt. The spider started out way smaller than what it has grown into. When I first saw it, it was about the size of a pinky nail. And its tripled to about an American .25$ quarter
If there is any more information you need let me know. Also if you have any advice on how to determine the spider species that would be welcome too
wolf or grass spider of some sort. 100% harmless, as is every other spider you'll find in the area that you can't identify.
Looks like a mouse spider

Agelenopsis sp
Looks like some Parson spider, they are hunting spiders so let some crickets loose in your room and he will do fine

It ought to be fine on its own. Hunting stuff down is what it does.
Me personally: I make sure the bathtub and sink drains are screened and/or leave a strip of paper towel or something for them to climb out, just in case. I feel better with spiders around.
