Found this guy outside by my plants, I almost forgot visitors like this can come over without notice. Is this a friend or foe?

    That’s a run away squealing like a little girl, for me. Typically if they’re big enough to catch my bumbly bees, I don’t like them. Otherwise I leave them there. They’re fine. They get rid of the other bugs.

      Yes, I’m with you! Once my soul came back to my body I was able to take this picture. 😆😆😆

    Looks like a wolf spider (you could say by its muscular body). Good thing is they get rid of your pests without weaving any webs. I'd gift her a dead fly now and then to keep her around the plants lol. You got an arachnid pet.

    That is a grass spider, not a wolf spider (it has huge spinnerets; wolves have very small ones.) It's harmless to humans and a very shy species. That one looks to be a male, and he'll hunt pests for you. These spin flat webs with a funnel shaped hole that they spend most of their time hiding in. If disturbed, they will run away very quickly and try to hide

      Here’s a better picture of his eyes. I have named him Carl and hope he sticks around but at a safe distance so he doesn’t freak me out. 😆

      That eye layout makes ID easier; he's a rabid wolf spider

    No thank you. I don’t care how good you are at eradicating the pests … outside you must go and can protect my outdoor babies!!

      He’s on my outdoor patio furniture. I was on the inside of my house taking this pic from my window. He definitely needs to be and stay outside.

    He’s applying for the home security position, he’s prepared to bounce any unwanted bugs that may be sneaking in.

    No. Nah. Nein. Negative. Never. Nope just nope. That would send me into some serious day drinking. Did I mention no.
