| |  Please help identify this spider
We recently went to our caravan near Bournemouth and had this bright green little spider as a guest during our stay, I've tried to find out what type of spider it may be but so far no luck, it was quite small, body length only approx 5mm. Picture found below. 
Any help would be most appreciated  |

Afternoon S&F, and welcome to WAB!
It's the not so common Green Crab Spider Diaea dorsata ( scientific name).
Take care, Jason  |

Take care, Jason | Agree with the ID, but have found it fairly common, especially when beating Holly in woods. |

This species appears to be rather localised in the southern counties.
I've yet to find one, despite living in the 'extreme south'. |
