Lyssomanes viridis
About size of thumbnail including leg span. One bright green as seen in photo. Do spiders shed like snakes???
Hi Kim, awesome find! These are the only green jumping spiders in North America as far as I know. Spiders do shed their skin as they grow. They leave behind the old exoskeleton that looks like an empty spider-shaped shell.
