Female Green lynx spider.
The family is Oxyopidae and this one is Peucetia viridans, the largest species around here and the only green one I know in the family. Look at the eyepattern - it's basically a hexagon and is distinctive for the family.

What lens did you shoot this with, by the way?

It's good that you've got the eyes in focus, and the depth of field isn't so shallow that it makes the rear of the spider distinguishable from the leaf. It's a nice shot overall, out of all insects (Yes, I know spiders aren't really considered insects) I have a particularly soft spot for spiders.

That should read indistinguishable.

Whoa! So interesting and unique! You really capture the spirit of the creatures you photograph! I love the translucent green hues of the insect's limbs, its active posture, and determined expression.
