Philodromus margaritatus (Clerck, 1757) female dorsal view

I posted plenty of portraits of this species already, but I never really bothered to take good dorsal photos and I wonder why.

 

A couple days ago I found this absolutely beautiful juvenile female, when I spotted her with my headlamp she almost looked like a ghost, appeared completely white. Now in this image you can see her beautiful green coloration come through her dense white setae.

 

Absolutely beautiful spiders, I really need to continue taking dorsal photos more often.
