Comments & ID Thoughts
I found this spider yesterday in a swampy area in East Dummerston, Vermont. It caught my attention because of the bright green color. Any ideas of what it is?

This is interesting! There aren’t that many bright green spiders in New England. I don’t know if the red marking on the underside is normally red or if it is a camouflage color change from green. I’m having trouble finding any ventral photos of Peucetia spp. spiders for comparison. The legs don’t seem have the yellow markings or black hairs of Peucetia spp. The shape and markings don’t match Magnolia Green Jumpers. I’m still searching…
