I've been finding these around my house lately. Wondering what they are. I live in central New Jersey

I don’t think this is a brown recluse. The brown recluse has a larger, flat, brown-to-dark-grey front segment to its body, which typically has a very distinctive violin/fiddle marking.

Edit: just throwing out that I still appreciate the concern even though I’m disagreeing.

Seconding "not a recluse". I live with a bunch of them. Body shape and coloring is wrong.
