Great spot! I'm very jealous as I've been hoping to see one of these for ages!
Please can you update the common & scientific names in edit.

This is a great macro! There is only one spider this could be, a Magnolia Green Jumper. They are cool. Jumping Spiders have the best faces! If you have any other views of this spider that would be great so other people can see what the whole spider looks like.
Your spider is a female. The males have very noticeable long jaws.
