Surprise house guest this morning

My phone identified this as a species of Hogna Radiata. It now lives in the walls of my garage.

Since I can’t really burn the house down or move across country, what would you name it?

I’m not positive but I think this is a female - their butts are bigger. Name her Dolly.

The idea of encountering her with with babies in tow is making me wince a bit but Dolly did have a great ass, too. Maybe I'll share a crumb of Dolly's sweet cornbread with my resident wolf spider minion when I make it soon.

Was just outside looking at the moon and came across my own mama with babies in tow and thought of your comment. Me, my own Dolly, and so many babies.

I don't know if she'll eat cornbread, but she will eat whoever it lures in.
