Jumping Spider – Tutelina elegans 

True to its scientific name Tutelina elegans (Araneae – Salticidae) is really a stylish and good looking jumping spider with long eyebrows. This is a small, iridescent-green species native to Eastern North America. The female is almost uniform iridescent green that may appear gold or even purple at different angles.
