Please Google Yellow Sac Spider and Northern Yellow Sac Spider. We get them indoors on the wall and up in the corner by the ceiling in Ontario. While they look harmless these spiders are responsible for more bites than any other spider. They are known to bite just crawling on a person. They can end up caught under sheets or clothes.

It looks a lot like the spider I caught today, which I'm convinced is a black lace weaver. Indoors, it looked black. It was about 1" in size. It behaved as you described. It just froze and even let me take pics close up. It didn't run that fast. It had the same silhouette as your spider's. I'm in Ontario, so not far.

It’s a jumping spider, possibly a bold jumping spider aka phidippus audax. https://www.inaturalist.org/observations?taxon_id=53809 https://spiderid.com/spider/salticidae/phidippus/audax/... Discussion Thread

SoggyCoffee commented on picture ID 195333.

Gonna guess it’s a kind of wolf spider - wolf spiders have very rounded thoraxes due to their spinnerets (the web-making bits) being very stubby/small. Best way to tell for certain would be to look at the eyes - if they have two very large eyes front and center as well, chances are it’s a wolfie. ... Discussion Thread

SoggyCoffee commented on picture ID 195337.

Wow what an amazing picture!... Discussion Thread

SoggyCoffee commented on picture ID 195325.

No worries. There are two main reasons I think it’s likely a sac spider: 1. The legs - certain sac spiders have legs where the tarsus (the last segment of the leg, sort of like their ‘foot’) lays flat against the ground, and is often darker than the rest of the spider. There is a sac spider whose name is actually the ‘black footed sac spider’ for this reason. 2. The heart mark - t... Discussion Thread

while this does look a lot like a Loxosceles in size, proportions, shape, and general coloring, the eye pattern, faint markings, and spines on the legs are not consistent with a Loxosceles, but rather is a very good match for a Titiotus, couldn't tell you what species within the Titiotus family, but I'm very certain that it is not an Olios...
