This "little" guy was creeping around behind my chair. I'm not sure what kind he is, but I've seen a few of them in our new location (Tulsa, OK) and this was actually a small one compared to the others. Any idea what type he is? Poisonous?

Thanks for the info everyone. Yeah, grass spider seems like the "winner." Just hope he and his friends stay outside and don't continue to march into our new offices.

Technically all spiders are poisonous, but the only dangerous one that resembles your pic is a brown recluse. This is a grass spider.

On a side note: Nice center composition, good shallow DOF, maybe bump the saturation a touch to make the browns "pop". :P

You are not a wolf spider. Grass spider sounds more like what you are. I have many of your cousins and other relatives that live in my yard. And like all spiders, yes I'm poisonous, just not deadly to humans.
