This is located 250 Yards from an apple orchard - hence an orchard spider - Ha!
Woodlands. Builds in low shrubs or small trees, close to the ground.
This one is small - body 1/4 inch long maybe.

Thank you once again KarenL
Spectacular spider!
Added a couple more of this colorful one.
Incredible capture Greg!
Thanks for the favorite StephanieCobbold - you have a nice colection of your own, good job!
When I first spotted this tiny spider I thought perhaps it was a baby Yellow and Black Garden Spider that would change color of legs to black etc as it matured. It was in a close proxcimity to a yellow and black, hence my fatal mistake in misidentification. The green legs are amazing.
Oh my goodness Raiyan Ahmed, I am honored to have you favor this picture. Your spottings are out of this world. What camera and lenses do you use? I would love to get some tips from you if you are so willing.
