    Need help from you folks identifying this spider, found inside my home next to an exterior wall, in a room that is next to the garage. Am concerned, of course, whether it's poisonous (hobo, wolf, etc). Live in Northern Idaho and it's just the beginning of spring here, only one day of 80 degrees, just a few in the 70's, mostly still in the 50's here. The spider had a large rear section, it was quite ballooned out, perhaps a female with eggs looking for a good place to lay them? Thanks for the help!

    Gravid female wolf spider - not dangerous. Nearly all spiders are venomous to some degree - review the 'sticky' at the top of this forum.
