Thanks for the identification !
We have many other Green Lynx in the yard (and a couple of others on the same plant) but they look very different - much narrower abdomens and less coloring - so I didn't think this one could be the same species.

Green Lynx
Peucetia viridans can look very different depending on age, size, sex, etc. Take a look at all of these.
