"Cosmophasis micans" is the scientific name for Banded Metallic-Green Jumping Spider. Characteristic of her body has a long abdomen, more or less cigar-shaped, a little flattish on top and tapering towards the spinnerets. The carapace is high, widest behind the posterior lateral eyes sloping quite steeply to the margins. It feeds on ants and other arthropods.
The name "cosmo" means world and phasis means phase, aspect, appearance, or way. And "micans" is from the Latin micare to vibrate and sparkle, hence sparkling, shiny, iridiscent.
