Spider - Dysdera crocata - Male
Ashtabula, Ashtabula County, Ohio, USA
April 29, 2011
Size: 1/2 inch diameter
Upside down. Found it crawling on my floor really slow, I put a container in front of it and it crawled in. I took it outside and let it go. Wondering what it is, thought it was acting weird crawling slow like that.

I took the liberty of linking your images,
since they depict the same individual.

Helpful hint: You'll improve your chances for an ID if you crop your pics as close to the subject as possible. Only you and the editors can see the full-size image; everyone else is left looking at a little spider in a big background. :)

Welcome to BugGuide!
