My first hunch with this is a juvenile, male, green lynx spider. Not certain though, even juveniles at this instar have more prominent spines on the legs.

I’m pretty sure he’s Lysosomes viridis https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/68315-Lyssomanes-viridis/browse_photos They are present in Ecuador. The photo owner said it was found at the edge of a forest, which is their habitat.

Aranha saltante verde magnolia.

Good call

BugmanDan

I should have known that. Maybe for never seeing on myself.

Thanks, I haven’t seen one either because my husband didn’t call me over when he saw one a few feet away from me in South Carolina. 🙁 This is a nice photo, I like the ability to totally see through the spider.

Tu cámara sale muy bien.
