I thought I'd liven things up just a bit by starting this series out with the one and only body part that can be used to positively identify this native Ohio female jumping spider. I'll post the rest in a week, or after someone identifies it.

I'll add some clues if nobody guesses the species right away, so please limit yourself to three guesses between clues. This might be a tough one so don't be afraid to make a mistake or ask questions.

Undissected epigynum; ventral view; 10 images in Helicon Focus.
