Green lynx spider

Here's a pic of the coolest looking spider I've ever found in my yard. This guy has great eyes! When I got close to it with my camera, it reared up and wanted to attack the lens

YUK! But great photo! lol Spiders are alright...from a distance. Better a spider than a camelback cricket. *shudder*

I've seen similar ( it was all green) spider on someone's rosebush once. I was in Norwalk, CA. It was pretty big and very beautiful. Sadly I've never seen any like that in my property. Just brown spider and blackwidow type spiders, those are more creepy than beautiful.
