Spotting Image 1

Description:

This spider is a metallic green that changes to purple according to the way the light hits it. It hung out on my arm for a while. Didn’t seem aggressive.

Habitat:

This was on my patio. I live in Isla Mujeres, a small island 7km from the coast of Cancun, in the Mexican Caribbean.

Notes:

Looked like some kind of jumping spider
