It looks like an agelenopsis grass spider.
it can’t be because they are not indigenous to Ohio
Spiders of genus Agelenopsis live over nearly the entire USA, including Ohio. This website:
https://wildlife.ohiodnr.gov/portals/wildlife/pdfs/publications/id%20guides/pub5140.pdf
identifies Agelenopsis Pennsylvanica as living in Ohio.
thank you for the information
Looks like a Tigrosa Helluo by the white stripe in the middle if the main body
The abdomen is different. Tigrosa and many other spiders which are similar in appearance have a rounded abdomen; however this one has a tapered abdomen much like an Agelenopsis. Also, Tigrosa Helluo’s legs are not as straight as those of this specimen, they are more wavy.
it looks very much like a species of tigrosa, it might just be me because I live out in the country or it might have been accidentally moved through some sort of means like a vehicle of luggage
