Sun spider- unsure of specifics
Hi. This arachnid is a young female Solifugae called wind scorpions, AKA sun spiders, AKA camel spiders.
They are quite harmless,they produce no venom or poison, worst case is they can give quite a pinch if grabbed in the hand.
The most common in the southwest is Ermobates spp. Handy in gardens and yards eating pest bugs.
