The outdoor species of Cheiracanthum yellow sac spiders, C. inclusum is always greenish when I see them. Sometimes the green color extends to the abdomen. The background plastic in the photo is black in normal light. The sunset was toward the spider. So is my camera flash. Bright light intensifies the green and yellow. Otherwise the spider looks very pale yellow-green.
