Whip spider

Ariamnes colubrinus

A slim green spider with long abdomen is positioned below an empty egg sac. I am uncertain if the egg sac is related to the spider at all.

I had no idea they could flex their abdomens so much before I found one. Must be part snake I think.

Thank you Mark. That is it for sure. I can't say I've noticed these before.

It looks like one of those whip spiders. They have the creepiest abdomens.. almost prehensile !!
