And welcome to Project Noah!
Hi Jerra, this is a venomous brown recluse spider - you can see the violin shape on it's thorax in the 2nd photo (I suggest you move this to the front as it is a clearer image - you can change the order by dragging dropping in edit) Don't be alarmed if you have found this in your home, as their name suggests they are reclusive but their bite can cause a nasty reaction & damage the flesh around the wound so it is best to remove them.
