Peucetia viridans (Green Lynx Spider)

A Green Lynx Spider in ambush position on a White-topped Pitcher Plant (Sarracenia leucophylla) in the Florida panhandle. Green Lynx Spiders (and spiders in general) can often be found associated with species of the genus Sarracenia. Presumably they are attracted to these plants because they attract numerous insects with their sweet secretions.
