I've seen this spider in Anaheim CA (92807) and took a picture in 2014, but California doesn't seem to be in its official range..

Please add Philadelphia, the city of brotherly love, as a habitat of the "camel cricket." Since the end of June the bug comes out in our family room at nite. It has daddy-long leg like legs and a solid body. It seems as though this bug jumps at you and can see! If I can get a picture, I will upload. Mostly, it scares the crap out of me then I jump too. My hubby killed one on my leg last nite which resulted in tempory itching. We sprayed twice, made sure areas of humidity are clear,etc. This may be a job for the pros.

I don't personally like quick-moving spiders (I don't want to be attacked, thank you) and generally give them their space. Saw one in the garden last year, among the vinca minora leaves, and thought it was almost beautiful; it had the iridescent face and a russet patch on the back of the abdomen and was the largest and fuzziest jumping-spider I had ever seen! It was also quick to get out of sight, hiding among the leaves.
