Today, I spotted a type of spider i have never seen before, not even in pictures. It was small, leg span less 1/2in, most of it's body was a very pale green, though it had 6 dark spots on it's abdomen in two columns. It's head was the real interesting part though, the top of the head was red and had a small white circle in the middle. Sorry i don't have a picture for you but my camera was outta film. Can anybody recognize this type of spider?
