I see there are plenty of photos in the guide of this common spider, but I thought I'd add a portrait:)

Love at First Sight
Found my first Green Lynx recently and immediately fell in love. Awesome shot of the pedipalps. I'm guessing this is a female; but, I've never (knowingly) seen an image of the male. Thanks for sharing.
