Image of Leucauge venusta (Walckenaer 1841)

Description:

Images 1-2: Dorsal views Image 3: Ventral view Image 4-5: Dorsal views -- No ID: Green (yellow and white) LLELA Mystery Spider - Help IDentify it please. Thanks! -- 7 August 2015: Observed this interesting mostly Green-colored Spider (Arachnida) with a white, green, and yellow patterned abdomen (see dorsal images 1-2, 4-5; the only ventral view is image 3). We do not know the IDentity of this particular LLELA spider. It was spinning its web when we happened upon it and could not get the best focused pics possible under the poorly lit conditions of the canopy plus the spider was located in an even darker place with but a ray of sunlight hitting it from above as evidenced in the images. We have provided enough photographic evidence though, we think, for those who may know their spiders far better than we ever will, to help us IDentify this one. Your efforts will be greatly appreciated. Many thanks in advance. We observed this mystery green spider while walking the Bittern Marsh Trail at the Lake Lewisville Environmental Learning Area (LLELA). LLELA is administered jointly by the US Army Corps of Engineers, the City of Lewisville, Texas, and the University of North Texas.
