I think this is a Jerusalem Cricket. They are often mistaken for spiders. The first two body segments look like they are more fused together, than in most insects. Spiders have two tagmata (body segments), so that could cause these crickets to look like spiders. This is the best photo I’ve seen of one, it is quite bizarre, especially the shape of the leg segments and the spines on them.
