Can anyone Id this? It was in my house- I've found 5 over the past year and at first thought it was recluse but it has striped legs.. any ideas?

This is a huntsman/giant crab spider (family Sparassidae) - http://entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/spiders/giant_crab_spider.htm
Thank you so much- I read the link you posted and it said these guys have spots on legs but in my pic they really look like bands or stripes- is it common for the dots to appear as stripes at a glance?
Spiders, like humans, can exhibit quite a bit of individual variation in appearance...
Interesting! Thanks so much!
