Green Lynx Spider

Peucetia viridans

Description:

Green spider with dark spots on legs, white around the eyes and red stripes from eyes down the chelicerae.

Habitat:

Oleander flower in the backyard

Notes:

'The lynx-spiders are so called because some species chase their prey with great rapidity over herbage and the foliage of trees and shrubs; they even jump from branch to branch like the attids; but other species lie in wait near flowers and spring upon insects that visit flowers' J.H. Comstock 1912 - BugGuide
