What Is This Thing??

Terresa Marie, my friend, felt something sticking her in the back.
When I unsipped the dresss this is what I found. She has been bitten by a Brown Recluse Spider and is deathly afraid of them. I attempted to identify the bug on the internet but no joy. Does anyone know what it is?
Thanks, Tom

Spiny Orb-weaver and, barring no unusual allergies, its bite is harmless Tom but I wouldn't say the same for "unzipping dresssssssses", okay?

Thanks Val,

This a snapshot of Teressa Marie. I don't "bite" when I unzip a dress.

Good find, Val!
The link is broken, so here's one with more info on that critter:
