Thank you Ken. When I have my computer back (this afternoon supposedly) I'll do more digging. So far I have found several species in FL but none are the green of this one. It does look much like the Green Lynx at first glance. I also read that these spiders are often found on foliage near bodies of water...just like our many of our native orchids...

This is an old Cypress stump, intricately eroded. This whole area we were in was filled with fantastic shapes. It's been dry lately and I think many of the stumps and knees we saw are normally in standing water.
