(Guess I have to do all 3 photos separately...) My best guess is recluse, altho the violin shape is only visible in certain light...

This is a golden huntsman. Olios giganteus. From your size, probably a young juvenile.
The heart mark is also very faint.
These are quite harmless, used to play with them as a kid.
