Northwestern brown spider or the hobo spider HOBO Not Recluse
“The northwestern brown spider or hobo spider (Tegenaria agretis) is well known in Oregon and Washington and is also quite common in Utah. Spider bites by this spider are becoming recognized more often in California, which may be due to the fact that the spider is becoming better known. The hobo spider often causes a bite that leaves an open, slow-healing wound. Bites from this spider are frequently and mistakenly thought to be brown recluse spider bites. Keep the wound clean and prevent infection. If the bite becomes infected or does not seem to heal, see a physician.” HOBO SPIDER BITE
THESE ARE NOT HOBOSPIDERS! These are orb weavers from the Metepeira genus. Not even close
to the same thing, and these spiders DO NOT HURT YOU. Creepwalker- these are not good pictures for
identification, because they’ve been incorrectly identified.

I have to agree with Ms. Exclamatory, this a type of common garden spider, fat and scary (in a beautiful way), and very good for the garden. Hobo spiders look very similar to wolf spiders, they don’t have that huge fat body.
