Thanks so much for the ID ForestDragon! :-)
Yes, these critters are so photogenic and 'full of character', aren't they!
This speices seems to have a lot of different names. I think you have a couple of them in your gallery. They are very pretty! I love the coloration on the underside of the thorax.
Btw, this was the same critter that was intimidating the dog about 10 minutes later!! http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/114...
