I was going through some older photos from earlier observations and discovered some creatures I hadn’t noticed so I decided to cut the portion of the photos with the animals and post them.

Oxyopes aglossusObserver
huttoniaDescription
She was so cute I just had to photograph her :)
In photo 2, compare the epigynum to that of figure 22 in Brady (1964). Oxyopes salticus (see figure 93) would have an epigynum with a peculiar median projection, and O. scalaris wouldn't have the facial stripes that the other Ohio species have. O. scalaris (based on figure 98) would have a median projection similar to O. salticus, except broader. O. aglossus clearly doesn't have any median projection.

Nordmann's Orbweaver (Araneus nordmanni)Observer
isopodguyDescription
I was so excited to see this. It's the first time I've ever seen a male Nordmann's Orbweaver and the only time I've seen a mating ritual in a spider of any kind.
The male tried to impress the female but she was very unimpressed and went back inside her crack after a while of watching and the male sat at the entrance for over an hour waiting.

Western Brook Lamprey (Lampetra richardsoni)Observer
isopodguyDescription
Found in a pool of saltwater/freshwater mix.
At first I thought it was a dead leech but when I picked it up and put it in a sour cream tub it wriggled and I saw the gill pores and realized what it was.
I found a second lamprey not far from this one. It was dried up laying on the ground and was only slightly alive.
