I found this on the Basil plant. I had seen this some days ago with a white object close to it. Now today, when I went there again, there was that white object still there, but with little green babies all round. Which this could be?

I resize the pictures for posting here, but use the higher res. when I post on the database. Thanks anyway for the appreciation. Those babies were real cute to look at.

Looks alot like a US species called Peucetia viridans - the green lynx spider.

I have a photo with the markings on the adbomen. Will post it sometime today. Probably that would be a good pointer.

Here is the abdomen design. In the meantime, I checked and found that it is indeed the Lynx Spider and have added it to the BF already. Thanks very much.

I found one more spinning a web in the evening. Good round belly!
