Sjl thank you for the suggestion, but im not sure its a wondering spider, Ive seen the wondering spider and here is my spotting and it doesn't look alike. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/6957264

It's a wandering spider, most likely of the genus Phoneutria. It is important to have caution with these, the venom is potent.
