My husband and I have just recently moved to Barksdale AFB in Louisiana and I was wondering about some pretty big spiders I have been finding. Or of someone can just tell me about all the spider and weird bugs around here would be great! But the spider I am talking about, the body is about an inch long, it is brown in color, it isn't hairy but a little fuzzy, it's legs are about maybe an inch or a little longer.
The wolf spiders around here a pretty big too. Can they make you sick at all or hurt if they bite? Are there any brown recluse or hobo spiders in this area? i have been trying to look it up but I really don't know where to look and I don
t seam to be getting anywhere with my search. So I guess my questions are: Can wolf spiders be really large? Can they make you sick or hurt you in any way if they bite? Are there any brown recluse or hobo spiders in this area? And what could that large spider be? I have never seen a spider so big before!

I worry about large bugs or ones that are harmful because I have small children. I know the effects of a brown recluse bite or a hobo bite, and I don't want that happening to my children! So if anyone can inform me about all the bugs in the Barksdale AFB, Louisiana area I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much!

Wolf and Bananna spiders are pretty much like the ones you describe. I don't know if they bite or their bite effects: it's best to avoid ALL spiders.
Louisiana is rife with Brown Recluses. You don't feel their bite...till days later, when it's bite toxins literally eat out your skin, causing severe health problems if not treated ASAP.
