I saw him and had to snap a picture... is it just a regular spider? is it something i should worry about?

Should i just kill the seedling and clean the hell out of my space? or is that just a house spider that enjoys the warm environment

Looks like a wolf spider to me. But the picture is a little to blurry to be sure. But it's a good guy it will eat 'bad' bugs.

Here are some more pictures of him. Don't mind charlie- that's a seedling i'm experimenting with. Which is why it's not a big deal if this is a harmful bug. But if i can keep him around with a protector that would be pretty sweet!

It's funny because Charlie was named charlie before i saw her new companion :X If i can get verification that this is infact a non-harmful spider (to me or charlie) I'll let him live. If it is, He probably wondered in Via some fire wood i brought in for the wood burning stove.

Just another common harmless ground spider from my observation .. The Hydroton offers moisture and hiding and it is most likely hungry as well .

Sounds good, i just hope it doesnt make it's way over to my bed whilst im sleeping. i don't mind The company, but my personal space shall not be invaded, or charlies protector will be vanquished.
