Peucetia viridans, pictured here, is the more common of the two species, found in fields, forests and residential areas across the southern half of the United States.
They are medium sized spiders that can reach two and one-half inches in length (including the leg span).
Typically they stay still on brush and branches waiting to pounce on nearby insect prey.
