More info
Well, you guys definitely narrowed it down for me. These are the only Misumnops native to Ohio:

Misumenops asperatus
Misumenops celer
Misumenops oblongus

Any guess's to which one it is?

In that case I vote for asp
In that case I vote for asperatus.

Distribution
All the references I could find list M. bubulcus as Puerto Rico only. Did you have other information available to you?

We would say Misumenops
but again, unfortunately, we are still waiting for the Misumenops expert to show up and enlighten us on the various species.
