Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans)! There are only two species in the genus in North American. In Texas the range of Peucetia viridans and Peucetia longipalpis overlaps. Typically P. viridans has the chevron pattern. However P.longipalpis lacks the chevrons.

That spiderling video is perfect – all the moving young and close up of mom at the same time. She looked pretty defensive.
No way to pick put a fav on the wildlife photos but the springtail and slime mold really got my attention esp how the photographer created the image.
Although you and Jeanne have pointed out Whitlow-wort to me, I still wouldn’t be able to walk up to it and identify it. But I really love saying the name.
I was watching online, and I just wanted to say congratulations on the NPSOT Shirley Lusk award. I can’t think of anyone more deserving. I’m really proud to have known you both!

Love the spider and babies. I’ve rarely seen that
Not an every day find for sure.

Oh you watched. Hmmm. Well I forgot to say thank you to Jeanne. Not a public speaker. And congratulations for your photo award.
Such a good momma!
She is!
Loved the lynx spider and babies. Quite a find.
I’m a lynx spider fan – always get excited when I find one. And congrats again to you both, Mary and Diane, for your very well-deserved awards! 🤩🎖🏆
Thank you 😊
