I think it is gorgeous! Did you let it stay or escort it outside?
All my specimens are released into the wild, unless I'm informed beforehand that the specimen is of interest to scientists.
My son-in-law (in UK) can only tolerate spiders in the house if he gives them a name . Here in Oz we have a constant supply of house spiders but none as colourful as yours.
Actually, if you check out the various Peacock Spiders that live in Australia , you'll find they're
very colourful indeed!
This scientific paper covers spiders of the Genus
Maratus, which contains the Peacock Spiders, and I think you'll agree they're well worth looking out for!
Meanwhile, a pretty thorough run-down of the various Australian members of the Salticidae can be viewed
here, but be warned you have a LOT of photos to scroll through on that page.
For example,
Simaethula auratus looks as if it's made of opal.
In the Araneidae,
Eriophora curculissparsus is mint green, and
Araneus praesignis has a mint green cephalothorax with a white abdomen. You also have several interesting black and yellow striped
Argiope species to look out for in the same Family, along with odd looking species in the Genus
Arkys. Also check out the Genus
Austracanthus, which contains colourful and bizarrely shaped six spined spiders, as does the related Genus
Gasteracanthus. In particular,
Gasteracanthus westringi will probably leave you with your eyes on stalks when you see it! These and more can be viewed
here.
Also see the Australian members of the
Family Thomisidae,
Several of the smaller Huntsman Spiders belonging to the Genus
Neosparassus are bright green. The big, scary ones belong to the Genus
Heteropoda - but as big as the Australian members of this Genus are, they're eclipsed by
Heteropoda maxima from Laos, which has, wait for it, a 12 inch leg span. That is NOT a species that should be searched for via a Google search by arachnophobes!
