Can anyone help me I.D. this spider. I found it on our front porch; loaded this thing up with ant spray and wasp and hornet spray ( closest thing around at the time)! But, If anyone can tell me what kind of spider this is I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

It looks like a brown recluse, but I'm not sure. Hopefully not, because the recluse is one nastly little spider.

"Got nothing on our redbacks ! Gotta watch them on the dunny seat"

Aussie slang for toilet seat.
Old favourite haunt of Redbacks is to hide under the seat of the outback dunny!

looks to be a wolf spider. There are lots of different species and coloring of the wolf but that looks like one of them.

Thank you all for helping me I.D this thing. I typed in wolf spiders on google and that is what it looks like. Thanks for your help!
