Green lynx spider is just a common name for not only one lynx species, some Peucetia species occurs worldwide. You can safely call it just Oxyopid.
Thank you very much. I really appreciate it! ..and you've got a pretty impressive collection yourself :)
Your entire collection on Noah is brilliantly photographed *bow* - great job!
Thank you very much LarsKorb :)
Thanks for your suggestion Ashish! Unfortunately it seems this spider only occurs in North America.. Do you have any alternative suggestions?
Must be Green Lynx spider.
Thanks Alice! He is one of the bigger spiders I've seen around Norway.. any idea about ID?
Thanks Laura! Hope all well over in C-town!
