Looks like a wolf spider.  It's funny that you posted this. I just saw one in my upstairs bath sink this morning.  Last week one fell on me while I was taking a shower downstairs. 1st time I've ever seen them inside , unfortunately neither survived. Lol

I had a  dock spider that was similar sized living in my old boat that I kept docked.  Everytime I jumped in to go fishing he would scurry under the deck.

Looks like a fishing spider. I don’t think wolf spiders are that stripy. Was it near any water?

I was going to say it’s a spider but I’ve been beaten to it.   Lol

Fugg spiders and snakes.   Actually that’d make a cool song……

Not any real water but a bit of a wetter area of the back yard in the berry patch.

x2 on wolf spider. My wife saw one a few years back from the seat of the riding mower and stopped and took a picture. You can see the spiders head tilting to look back at my wife. They are big!!
