Wow!
Awesome spider! Do you know if these occur in Oklahoma ?
I looked at the data for Entelegynes and it shows pretty much all of the US but Castianeira amoena shows only five states. But, one of those five is Texas so I wondered if they might show up in Oklahoma also.

These
Occur in AR so I am betting they occur at least in eastern OK.
