Clever, Welcome to Spider ID! You got it! I like this species, it looks so big and calm. I can't go to subspecies level, I didn't know it had any. Yes this is the ventral plane. The Anatomy class I took in high school is useful here. :) This is probably a female, female spiders are much more often photographed than males.

Hi, this is a harvestman (order opiliones). They are not actually spiders, but are arachnids. Easiest way to tell them apart is by the body plan - spiders have two body segments, while opiliones only have one (their head and abdomen are fused together). In my area of the world we call them daddy long legs, although that’s a common name used for a lot of different arthropods. https://bugguide... Discussion Thread

As BugManDan said, this looks to be a female kukulcania hibernalis, aka the southern house spider.
