Green Lynx Spider

Took this a few years back...Didn't even know of this spider until I spotted it while trying to take a photo of a butterfly. It had been hiding underneath the bloom it is on

Is that a poisonous spider? Great color.

Nice shot, and beautiful specimen. It really stands out on the purple. I'll have to check more of your posts.
Here's a little closer view of one, though not one of my best shots.

Not trying to hijack the thread, but for the questions... The fangs of these guys are large enough to penetrate human skin, but they usually don't bite unless provoked. If they do, it's about as poisonous (and painful) as a bee sting. The ones to really watch out for (in the Southeastern US) are black widows, and brown recluse. I'm not sure about other regions, but bugguide.net is a great resource if needing info.
Thanks!

Both of you have some really cool photos. I've not seen a spider like this before.
