Spider ID? - Ariadna bicolor

Spider ID? - Ariadna bicolor
Fairmont, West Virginia, USA
September 4, 2010
Size: 5mm
This uninvited guest was inside the hall at a wedding reception. This was taken with a flash. To the naked eye in dim lighting it appeared black. Could this be a dark version of a woodlouse hunter? I always get them mixed up with Trachelas.

reminds me
of something I found in NC once. See


Take a look at your spider's front leg and compare with mine.

Thanks
The front leg does seem characteristic. I need to correct the location, though. I just got back from a trip to several states and absent-mindedly mixed up the caption of this photo. The wedding reception (and spider) was in Fairmont, West Virginia, not Ohio.
