Green Lynx Spider

Peucetia viridans

Description:

Young green spider with narrow and striped cephalothorax, spots on clear legs, black hairs and light markings on abdomen. The adult female can be seen in various colors at: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/750...

Habitat:

Creeping Lantana in backyard.

Notes:

"The lynx-spiders are so called because some species chase their prey with great rapidity over herbage and the foliage of trees and shrubs; they even jump from branch to branch like the attids; but other species lie in wait near flowers and spring upon insects that visit flowers" J.H. Comstock
