Less than a cm in size and bright green all over. A friend suggested it was a Magnolia Green Jumper as I indicated in the title, but it did not have the famous orange cap making me think it is something else.
Mixed forest.

Nice little spider. This looks more like an immature Crab Spider (Family Thomisidae) to me.

Here is a page that has some comparison of similar species. You might need to enlarge the eye region to help with ID. It can be tough with these guys.
