Brown spider in an inside corner of my green shack - Pisaurina mira

Brown spider in an inside corner of my green shack - Pisaurina mira
Franklin County, Ohio, USA
June 16, 2009
Size: 3 inches from tip to tip
Color corrected image because my BB Storm phone screwed up the colors and made it look pink! Fixed the color in photoshop so it would at least be very close to the color we saw (brown) Hoping it is harmless.

maybe Pisauridae, or Sparassidae
It might be a Genus Pisaurina, nursery web spider. OR might be a Sparassidae giant crab spider - probably the latter.

Pisauridae
I'd go with the Pisaurina.. due to range, resting position, and eyes.

I'll try to get a better photo...
If I see it again I'll get another (maybe better) pic. It probably is a Nursery web spider - the long legs looked unusual for this area. Thanks for the help.
