Beautiful spider! Love the leg color and the way they look transparent.
ClaudiaS
Thanks Antonio! I also had never seen any of these. But I found it in my house, so I have been attentive to see if it appears again and I can get some more pictures.

ClaudiaS
Yes, it's really annoying when it happens. Anyway... I'm glad you like!
ForestDragon
Darn! I hate it when that happens! I have a couple of photos like that. It's always frustrating. I hope someone can help whith the ID as well! I love how the light shines through the legs.
ClaudiaS
yes ... I know... but it hid so fast that I could not take more pictures. I know that only with these becomes difficult to find an id, but I hope someone knows. I'd like to find it!
ForestDragon
Claudia, do you have any other views of this spider? It would be helpful for ID purposes if you had a view of the dorsal side (the back so to speak) so the shape and any markings or color variation could be seen. A view of the face would be excellent as well. I am not familiar with the spiders in your area but there may be someone out there who is! I hope an ID is found for this lovely.
ClaudiaS
Thanks! I think isn´t that one... but thanks!

Beautiful spider! Maybe Micrommata virescens (Green Huntsman Spider)? http://ednieuw.home.xs4all.nl/Spiders/Eusparassidae/Eusparassidae.htm
