Tiny green winter spider - unknown - Lyssomanes viridis
Woodstock, Cherokee County, Georgia, USA
December 29, 2007
Size: < .5 inch including legs
What tiny translucent-green spiders are active in December in N. Georgia? First spotted 12/12/07 inside red ant-guard containing water hanging from deck. Spotted yesterday 12/29/07 scurrying on deck itself. And is it an immature?
