It is not a brown recluse. I had a spider on my front porch and i researched it and it is a type of wolf spider. But just in case... just leave it alone. If it is in fact a brown recluse or another poisonous spider it can have a nasty bite! Good luck!
The spider you are referring to is likely the yellow sac spider. Yellow sac spiders are brown with two yellow stripes on their back and are commonly found in California. They are not considered aggressive towards humans but can deliver a painful bite if provoked.
