What Brown Recluse Spiders Look Like

Found these in my son’s bedroom. What kind of spiders are these?

These are brown recluse spiders, one of the spiders considered to be medically important. While most bites from these spiders heal without issue, a small percentage of people have a very negative reaction to their venom. Their venom is a cytotoxin which kills cells.This can result in a wound that is ulcerous, slow to heal, and leaves a craterous scar.
