Southern California. It jumps. Lost legs unfortunately trying to catch it. Released outside.

Wolf spider most likely. Which? I have no clue. I see them all the time too. Their bites last a month or more when I've gotten bitten.
Thanks! I’ll take a look again. The wolf spider pics I saw looked like tarantulas.
I got bitten by a couple of these in San Clemente, caught one and brought it to someone at UC Irvine, back when there was a Bike Religion store on campus and I was they Buyer for the chain. They said it was a wolf spider. I was told there is a good bit of variance in the species that can make them difficult to identify further, but they are common to SoCal.
What happened to the bite? Just painful or any necrotic flesh or other symptoms?
Just painful, but deeply so. It looked about like a mosquito bite, but under the surface it went deeper and impacted muscles to a minor extent for around a month. I was commuting full time by bicycle and it had noticeable effects.
Damn. Don’t wanna get bit by one of these
