Magnolia green spider with eggs? - Lyssomanes viridis - Female
Charlotte, Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, USA
April 20, 2017
Size: 10 mm
besides confirming ID as translucent light green with tiny black spots on abdomen and long legs I think this is a Magnolia green spider but what we want to know is could that be a egg sac that is on top of its cephlothorax???

it is a...
magnolia green jumper, but the white-ish spot is their normal eye cluster.
Here is how they lay their eggs.

Cool spiders! Huh?
