No, it's just weevil. Perhaps the lesser of two weevils.

I strongly dislike these. Normally spiders don't bug me (😁) but these things are huge and they jump at you.
Becky Samuel 4 months ago
Wolf spiders range in size from the huge Australian kind right down to tiny little fellas you can barely see. This one appears to be a mid-sized species.

Why so so many of these photos look like the insect just got out of the shower?
Becky Samuel 4 months ago
Because wild insects rarely fly when it's raining, so it's much easier to photograph them.

These are the WORST if you ever get them. Salt (first, let sit overnight with plug) then boiling water down the drain and then plug overnight. Upon opening, have pots of hot water to pour down. Plug again. Rinse and repeat. If you have a disposal, make sure you use a cleaner regularly.
