    What kind of spider is this?
    I live in Ohio and this spider was in my bathtub. It was jumping about 6 inches high. Can anyone tell me what kind of spider it is?

    At first glance I'd say it's a wolf spider.

    Thank you, that's what I was thinking, but couldn't find any good pictures online to compare it to.

    I agree. Definitely a wolf spider. I once had one that was patient enough to hang out for almost a half hour, crammed into the toe of my shoe (unbeknownst to me, of course), before it finally bit me on the end of my toe to alert me of its presence. It felt like someone had jammed a thumbtack into the end of my toe, so I hurriedly pulled off my shoe to examine my toe and found nothing unusual. Then I turned the shoe upside down, shook it a few times, and out flopped this enormous wolf spider! I snapped a couple of pictures to make sure it wasn't something poisonous, let him go on his way, and neither of us was worse for the wear.
