Judging by the first photo, it looks about 1/2 kilometer long. I’m allergic to those ones!

Looks like a variety of the wolf spider. But I’m not an expert, and I’d rather kill it than try to find out what it is. lol

I don’t know what spiders you should be wary of there. You should really look it up, though. Good to know what you need to look for. Generally I don’t worry about any bugs in the garden. We seem to need them. Here, we worry about black widows a bit, but we worry a lot about brown recluses. Best of luck.

Looks a lot like a woodlouse spider. They eat potato bugs/rolly pollys/or woodlice (depending on what you call them where you live.) I wouldn’t kill it unless it tries to come inside.

You can Google spiders of your region and find the one that looks like it. A useful tool.

I think that unless it is one of those spiders that snuck in on a banana shipment, and usually die after being in the non-tropical weather too long, you should be okay.
