Could it be a Green Lynx?
Found in my African Blue Basil plant which attracts about 20-30 bees at a time.
Is the brown dried looking pouch the spider is near it’s sac?

Peucetia spp. Yes, I can barely see her because she’s so well-camouflaged. She has the ability to change colors. The bee she’s eating couldn’t see her either. Yes their egg sacks look like partially filled burlap sacks. She’s guarding it and catching a meal at the same time. There are two nearly identical species in genus Peucetia that have been known to be in California and southwest areas near Mexico. So, I can’t identify her to taxonomic species. She’s still a Green Lynx.
