Green Jumping Spider - Male by Adam Gormley
A mature male Green Jumping Spider (Mopsus mormon, family salticidae) with his punk rocker hairstyle. One of the larger jumping spiders I have seen, he was about 15mm in length, and you can clearly see his fangs of about 1mm each. Luckily these are not harmful spiders, in fact, they love the mosquitoes in your garden :)
