Green, translucent head and legs, with longish beige translucent abdomen and bright red head area. Huge green cheliceras(?)
Parque Arví, in the forested hills just outside of Medellín, Colombia.
I identified him from other Noah posters. I assume they are correct.

Ah, Sumukha, thank you! It looks like he is a Magnolia Green Jumper for sure.
Beautiful!
Incredible!!
Here is a similar spotting from your region allencraig..Take a look here- http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/108...
The second photo is the best, thanks for the heads up on it!
Hi allencraig, can you re-upload your second photo.
Seems like we cannot view it.
Wikipedia also did not say anything about Epeus species in the western continents.
But this spider might be under the Lyssomanes genus.
Lets just say that Lyssomanes are the western "Epeus" spiders.
Nice.. Looks like a spider from the genus "epeus"..:-) The second photo is not showing up.. Pls delete it and upload once again..:-)
very nice; your second photo doesn't show up for me
