It IS a long legged sac spider, more the outdoor species than yellow sac spider you find indoors. Studies show these are harmless though.

I meant to attach my reply to yours — thank you and I’ll share your feedback with my neighbors!
Thanks for responding again. I’m going to post your reply on my neighborhood forum where two guys are arguing about it being either a yellow sac or maderdaddy!
No problem. for people that never studied arachnids, everything you think you know spiders is all wrong.
Have a new one to identify. This was on my bedroom wall. There appears to be another one on my ceiling! Picture ID is 194489
This is a jumping spider, family Salticidae. Certainly Phidippus genus.
Most likely Phidippus audax.
audax group – BugGuide.Net
Probably a more popular pet spider than tarantula.
Thank you! I’ll read more about them
