Magnolia Green Jumping Spider, Lyssomanes viridis, ~5mm diagonal leg span, found on a Fatsia plant this morning. Adult males have huge chelicerae, not sure if this is a female or if their sexual dimorphism isn't evident when they are juveniles. This species is known for having a moving retina.
It lost its front leg, can see the emerald green hemolymph clot. The dark retina could be seen actively moving behind the large main eyes, a pretty crazy thing to see.
