Comments & ID Thoughts
I first noticed this guy on my ceiling two weeks ago. He seems content traveling the ceiling in a house that's usually between 75 -78 degrees.
I got pretty close with my phone yo take this photo and it didn't seem to bother it much
I haven't had much luck identifying it.

Hi,and welcome to the site. Looks to me like a juvenile huntsman spider, Heteropoda venatoria,or could be a running crab spider Philodromidae family. Seeing the eyes would help here these look very much alike.
I found it. Looking at eye patterns, seem this spider is much smaller than taken.
Family Selenopidae, likely Selenops genus. Called flatties unofficially,no common name.
I keep forgetting the lone ranger mask they have only finding one every couple decades.
