My description got cut off. I did not take this pic, it was taken by a friend in Cincinnati Ohio. No idea what it is and haven’t seen anything like it before. Did a little digging and the closest I could come was a trapdoor spider… and oddly enough, they say they reside in southern OH. Whoda guessed it?
Wow, didn’t know this thing existed. They are closely related to trapdoor spiders so you were pretty close the first time too.
Nevermind, it’s a Purseweb Spider
