Spider ID?

[Lizbeth]

Hi I found this spider on my bed today and it was very cute but I’d never seen one like it before. Does anyone know what it is? Sorry that the quality isn’t great!

I'm not sure about that. While the coloring is right, the shape of the cephalothorax doesn't look right for one of the Araniella, plus it looks like this spider has elongated spinnerets that you wouldn't normally see in an orb weaver.

It would be helpful to have clearer pictures - and to know whether it really looked that green in real life, or if that's a trick of the camera or the lighting.

Hi, I agree. It was a bright green in real life!
Unfortunately it was the only photo I took since I was in a hurry to get it outside.
