Jumping spider/Pauk skakač

Heliophanus cupreus

Description:

Every specimen I have previously encountered had been up to 2mm long. When frightened it raises its abdomen high up. It`s green, with distinctive four symmetric white spots on abdomen

Habitat:

Palearctic region. A species collected from a wide variety of habitats including woodlands, grasslands, raised bogs, coastal cliffs, shingle beaches and wastelands and other disturbed habitats such as quarries. In these varied habitats, it is commonly found in the drier parts, occasionally seen active on the surface but more commonly within litter. During a resting period, this spider may be found in a silken cell placed under stones or in litter. Adults of both sexes are found mainly in May, June and July, females persisting occasionally into the autumn.

Notes:

ID thanks to Injica. It seems it is a jumping spider
