Was It A Rare Or Venomous Kind Of Spider?
This is something I saw a long time ago, but I’ll never forget it. I live in Northern Ireland. I was outside in my back garden and I saw a weird spider on my garden gate. It was about the same size as my thumbnail. It was bright green with a bit of white on it’s back. It was definitely a spider because I counted eight legs. But I didn’t touch it because I thought it may have been poisonous. But it crawled away and I never saw it again. Was it a new species or rare? I don’t think green spiders are that common in the UK, but I especially want to know if it was dangerous. If anyone knows about spiders, could you help identify the one I mentioned?
Black Widow? I think that venomous
No … that wasn’t what it looked like. It’s whole body was bright green (like iceberg lettuce) but it had a sort of white zig-zag shape on it’s back.
could have been a crab spider they have a range of colours from brightwhite to luminous green they are not really poisonous though
I couldn’t copy the photo, but the link to the piece and a photo is below. Is this what you saw? It is a garden spider in the UK, a carnivore, but harmless to humans according to the article.

A very conspicuous spider with a dark thorax and almost luminous, yellow-green abdomen, this species spins an orb web in tall vegetation, trees and bushes.
It is very common in gardens but sometimes overlooked as its striking colours are good camouflage amongst green leaves. Like all the other British spiders, this is exclusively a carnivore. It is harmless to humans. Food
Predatory mainly on flying insects caught in its web. Prey
Aphids, Flies, Mosquitoes and midges, Moths
