Lived in a house in iowa infested with brown recluse spiders about 15 years ago. That is definitely not one. Sure looks like a wolf spider.
Brown Recluse?

For as much as I hate spiders and cringe at the sight of them, I still open these damn spider threads up... Damn me.
Im less afraid of spiders than i ever have been. I figure if its not a recluse or a widow, ill prob be ok.
Wolf spiders are pretty neat, and not dangerous at all.. THey accidentally may stumble into the house but are all in all harmless. They eat little insects that people go bats over. Let him be, or put him outside. No need to kill them. Brown recluse spiders do occur in Iowa, but they are really pretty uncommon and are very reclusive. Most of "spider" bites are not spiders at all, and many are not even bites. It is just easy for a mom, friend or even doctor to say it is a spider when it isnt..
This thread is full of nope that I should have never clicked on it. Almost peed myself with the spider jumping to the camera. There is really only two things that I have with a passion and that is spiders and bats. I would burn down my garage with that spider in it and not think twice.
