Leucauge venusta
It is distinctively colored, with leaf-green legs and sides (which can sometimes vary to a dark green or even orange). The underside of its thorax is spotted with yellow and black, the top is silvery with brown and black streaks. The neon yellow, orange or red spots on the rear of the abdomen are variable in size among individuals and sometimes absent.
This little guy was hiding underneath a fallen tree trunk, taunting me as i struggled and failed to get a crisp, clear shot of him
