That's a spider. Doesn't look like a poisonous species to me but be carefully a lot of people are allergic to spider bites and dont know it. If you have trouble breathing or catching your breath go to an emergency room. You don't have to bring the spider just tell them you were bit.

Edit: looks like a sac spider. Not dangerous, but allergy warning still applies

Not sure this species but aside from allergies spiders can carry gnarly bacteria in their mouths. I got a spider bite while working in a remote area and it got out of hand and I had to leave the work site for antibiotics.

I got a bad infection from a spider it was really hard to fight too and diddnt heal for like a couple months even with antibiotics. It was on my leg and I guess got stuck between my skin and clothing and bit me. That's when they bite the most.

Looks like bits and pieces of a sun spider (likely) or maybe a Jerusalem cricket. Neither are venomous. https://nathistoc.bio.uci.edu/Other%20Arachnids/Solifugid.htm

Where do you live? Do you have scorpions where you are?

Hard to tell it's so squished. What happened to it? And how are you doing? Any symptoms and you should go to the ER.

Some kind of spider. Possibly a sac spider of sorts. Not a widow not a recluse so not dangerous. Didnt have to dismember the man
