Thumbs up, there are good and bad spiders. that is good one and the amount of insects her and the babies will eat will far outweigh your temporary creepy state.

Yep, looks like a Wolf Spider to me, here is some info.

I vote let it be, as long as it stays outside, if it crosses the threshold, it's a goner...

IN AUSTRALIA......90% of spiders are DEADLY POISON!!!!!! the most deadly ones here in the U.S. are the black widow, and the brown recluse. it is wise to GOOGLE these and see what they look like. some areas are more prone to the these then others. TARANTULAS on the other hand are mostly big and hairy, but will bite if provoked. you wont die but will wish you did.

Or the Middle-East. Anyone have army buddies that spent time in the desert? Ask them about camel spiders.

I was bit by a spider a few years ago and ended up with a nasty infection in my leg that put me in the hospital for 2 weeks. Since then I stomp on them every chance I get.

These things were all over the place when I went to Florida a few years back to visit my dad. Supposedly one ate a bird in Australia...

Never saw one as huge as the one in the article, but the pic below was about the average size, big as your hand.
