Thanks sintija! Looks like A. opisthographa but can't analyze details today :)

A. cucurbitina is very similar to Araniella opisthographa, but it's good that you have a photo of the underside, here's how these two species look like -> http://www.eakringbirds.com/eakringbirds3/arachnidsaraniellas.htm

I saw the red pattern on abdomen and thought it would be green cucumber spider, also, they can be yellowish and green..maybe someone will know which species it is :)

Thanks Jopy, the species doesn't fit perfectly but the genus is right for sure :). This one is not green enough to be a cucumber green spider.
