What is it?
Can you tell me what it is, or why it isn’t a Chilean Recluse? Thanks

Looks
like Metaltalla simoni or an Amaurobiid of some sort.

Body shape, coloration all wrong for Loxosceles. Chilean recluse has very limited and restricted range in LA, if even still present there.

Not
a recluse.
Harmless, eats insects.
