This is not a spider, it’s a non-venomous relative called a solifugid. The common names for it are sun spider and wind scorpion.

Hi. these arachnids are not true spiders. in the order Solifugae(wind scorpions) They are not dangerous, produce no venom or poison. Worst may be a hefty pinch if grabbed in the hand.
