The spider has amazing barbs covering all eight legs! I'm hoping I can identify the specimen by searching online.

Great Green Goddess!
When I got home from school (work) tonight before going to school (school) for the evening I spent some time in the backyard with Reese and AJ. Check out the beautiful green spider that I spied on a leaf of my Morning Glory vine. The leaf is well over 5 inches across! Makes for a big spider wouldn't you say?

What a cool critter. To other viewers, if you haven't clicked on this to see it in large form, do so. The detail is amazing.
I've had a lot of Morning Glories in my time, but have never found such a beautiful and interesting creature among them. Hope the I.D. follows shortly.
Me again. I did a quick search using "green spider" and hit the jackpot! Pretty sure you have a green lynx spider. Check it out on:
