One I would kill in a heart beat with WD40 and a lighter. Looks similar to a Wolf Spyder.

H. Carolinensis or H. Helluo. Hard to tell without a good picture of the eyes. In short. Wolf spider.

Would have probably been killed with fire if it was anywhere near me.
Yes I would light my bed on fire if it was ever on it.

Typically wolf spiders don't spin snare webs...

Nah, all you have to do is hit it in the back with a Deku nut. After that it drops a gold coin. You need to collect those.

Wolf Spiders do spin silk, but they don't hang by them like this little critter. Without looking at it's pedipalps, I'd say it was a type of male orb-weaving spider.

So did I. Beautiful female Mexican Red leg. Very docile. Easy to pick up and handle. Used to feed it crickets from the bait shop and just about anything I could catch outside.

You could always move it to a different location and let it live.

Yes, by offering the option of saving a spider, I really meant
I'm supporting the Lockerbie bomber.
Your the only one to catch that extremely subtle reference. Good job

Wolf spiders can and do use their drag line to evade predators. Sure, they don't hang in waiting to catch prey, but chances are it was well aware of merc's presence given that wolf spiders have excellent eye sight. Also, if you notice the shape of the abdomen, it is very much like the carolina wolf spider's. Also, it appears that the chelicera are very pronounced meaning it would most likely be a hunting spider rather than an orb weaver.

Um, or just leave it and let it kill those other pests you might have in your house?
Or grab it in some Tupperware and throw it outside?
Why this hate for spiders?

I'm not inclined to believe that is a terrestrial spider. The legs give it away. That spider was built to hang in a web. It is very difficult to see the chelicerae in that photo. The angle doesn't let you see any large pronounced eyes either. Perhaps Merc can give us some more information as to how the spider was suspended. Was it a single dragline or more?
