Oh honey, thank you for going to look for me, but I never would have asked you to.

Okay, I've been informed by My Hero, who actually got a better look at it than I did, that it was NOT five inches across (counting legs) more like three (and a bit, I swear). And that it did have mottled grey and black markings, and was almost certainly a wolf spider, which as you just found out, are indigenous, and which we do have, occasionally, in outbuildings and Places Where I Don't Often Go.

One or the other of the kids was often working on his bike out in the shop at night. The shop has an old linoleum rug on the floor. It also has a resident population of wolf spiders, which help keep down the camel crickets and other icks. One night a Kid reported, "Mom, I heard it before I saw it. It sounded like a little tap-dancer."

So, lesser nyharrgs. Still, surprise is so very not good. Now go scrub that unwanted knowledge out of your brain and stop looking into shadows.
