Definitely not a a Loxosceles reclusa or brown recluse. This is a False Widow. It appears to be a Steatoda grossa they are harmless and prefer to run and retreat over biting people and it’s not medically significant to humans. It’s from the same family Theridiidae that Black Widows come from but it’s a completely different species and will not harm you.
