You're looking at a Micrathena.
The funky butt spider is a common name for Micrathena gracilis which does occur in Ohio.I always learned funky butt spider as the common name, but it seems that the accepted common name is now Spined Micrathena.
No I don't think they are poisonous, I had one on me the other day and it just sat there. TRUST ME i live in a area where alot of them are.ALL spiders are venomous- they is how they catch, kill and digest their prey. However, only a few are dangerous to people, and the spined micrathena is not one that is dangerous. It is completely harmless to people.
Possibly some species of gasteracantha or micrathena.

The spider you are describing is likely the spiny orb-weaver (Micrathena spp.), which is known for its distinctive black body adorned with white or tan markings and prominent spines. These spiders are commonly found in gardens and forests, where they construct small, intricate webs. Their unique appearance can make them easily recognizable, although they are harmless to humans.
The spider you are describing sounds like a green lynx spider (Peucetia viridans). They are known for their vibrant green coloration with red and yellow markings on their back and legs. These spiders are typically found in North and South America.
