After looking at Maddison (1986) I tend to agree with Zygy. Maddison shows E. flava mainly to the south of Great Lakes-St. Lawrence River, and the only Ontario records are from the north shore of Lake Erie: Point Pelee and Long Point (none in Eastern Ontario).

On BugNet, only 4 photos of E. flava from Ontario. These two (my photos) and two others where details are hard to see. No records from Ontario on iNaturalist either.

We can leave my photos here or move them to E. militaris.

The location and appearance both favor E. militaris to me.

Moved
Moved from Jumping Spiders. I agree due to breadth of carapace--too broad for Pelegrina.
