These can be found in various colors. It’s the spots that make the ID. Our Washington-New Hampshire latitude has many different species than the states below us. Southern Canada has many of the same species we have. You probably can find a Candy Stripe Spider more easily than the one you found. Candy Stripes are common and in family Theridiidae, like Widows and False Widows. They tend to be in dark places like densely grown fields. I like any green spider, it feels like spiders were just meant to be green. 🙂
