I found these two spiders in my house. Was wanting to find out what kind they are. Is it a brown recluse? I’m freaking out a little.

Hi! Not sure about the spider on the left, but the one on the right looks like a wolf spider of some sort (i.e. a spider in the family Lycosidae.) Despite the name, they are neither aggressive nor dangerous. They do not like to bite and would much prefer to run away. Their bite is perhaps as serious as a bee sting – potentially annoying, but won’t really hurt you.
The one on the left is not a brown recluse but I found one of the same kind and have not been able to identify it.
