I was just outside looking for scorpions when I came across this super tiny, translucent spider. I thought it looked pretty cool and wanted to take a closer look at it so I picked the leaf it was on and put it in a small container. I have spent the last maybe hour and a half or so trying to identify the species but I can’t find anything close to it. The spider seems to be some sort of jumping spider and is yellowish green with black stripes and red accents on the fangs. If anyone has any information or knows the species, that would be greatly appreciated. The spider was found near Cumming, Georgia around 11pm on a small weed. It is maybe 4mm in diameter. (I know the pictures aren’t the best and I have little experience with jumping spiders)
