Bright Green Spider w/ Orange: ID?

Hi everyone. I just saw this spider yesterday on the HVAC condenser outside. I couldn't find anything in Google to match what kind it is. Any clues? Thanks. I'm in Louisiana.

Mannn I wish we had some true spiders like that in the UK! Looks stunning!

Had a little look on the net for some info on these guys found a great (but very long) video http://archive.org/details/FeedingLyssomanesviridis in the 1st minute or so it shows the retina of the spider moving around! Never witnessed anything like it most jumpers I see will tilt their heads or alter body position to look in a set direction.

Yea, I saw that video after learning what kind of spider it was. It was in the sun but ran back into the shade so I couldn't get a great shot. I wish I could lure it out of hiding somehow!
