Green linx spider

Peucetia viridans

Description:

Green hairy spider. After take the photo I tried to gently touch it, but this green friend waves its two front feet like a boxer and jumps to get away of me. It appears a furious predator.

Habitat:

Spotted on one of my truck's headlight. I was at an oil well platform surrounded by orange crops. Near to Alamo, Veracruz.
