The ones in Virginia when I lived there were all over grassy fields and didnt bother you, they'd scurry away. Never got bit, saw wolf spiders growing up in Buffalo even a couple that big but didnt bother you. The window spiders at the lake cabin in Canada my folks had were a different story. They'd bite and you wake up with welts in the morning. I had take a flash lite butt end and kill them every evening or my brother would not sleep... they liked him... ?
