Green Leaf Web Spider

Nigma walckenaeri

Classification

Order
Araneae

Nigma walckenaeri is a green cribellate spider up to five millimetres long, the largest of the family Dictynidae. While most of the body is a somewhat yellowish color, the abdomen is a shining green, which makes it rather distinct and hard to confuse with other species. The green color makes it almost invisible.
