Long legged garden spider that makes wide webs to catch flying insects. Belly is a beautiful emerald green.

Hunts at dusk/night.
Thank You or your help, and for such a small spider it's like a living gem. :)
I could have sworn I posted an ID suggestion for this a long time ago. Oh well, here you are! Bugguide has a great section on identification of this one and a similar species, and your two pictures here are just phenomenal.
