NIGHTTIME PHOTOGRAPHY - GREEN LYNX SPIDER (Peucetia viridans)

in #animals6 years ago

This was my first time seeing one of these!


Late last night, in fact so late it was actually early this morning, I was out in my garden. As I walked by the flowering tamarillo plants and noticed a few setting fruit, I also noticed this.

It was a strange spider, fantastically green in color. I tried my best to photograph it in the dark with my camera flash and flashlight, and here are the results.

Good shots, Mate!...:)...

Am terrified of spiders. I'd this particular species poisonous? Even if it's not, would probably need a few beers to go near the thing

Not sure, we just met... but it might be dangerous.

very good pictures and very pretty the spider

Thank you! I thought it was a most interesting creature.

First time I see a green spider. Is it a plot?

This was my first time too!

Nice click @papa-pepper. Green spider seems like newly born.

I have never seen one of these either, but, I tend to like ground spiders better to be honest. If I have to like any of them at all, you know?

So, I am going to have to google it now, but, what is its purpose in life besides looking pretty? And don't get me wrong! It is pretty!

Fabulous one!!!

Wow! Is that a spider, its color almost Camouflage with the plant and I think the photo was taken at night ?
Anyway, thanks for sharing such rare spiders at night
Cheers

This is the creature that scares me the most! I just believe you spend most of the time with them!
