Thank you again for your help Gina, I am going to add that information in the description field
Thank you Emma.
great info about the slits!
Sorry, its Araniella cucurbitina
this is called green orb-weaver(araniella cucurbutina) This spiders use special slits on their bodies to detect when an insect is trapped in their webs.These slits (called lyriform organs) pick up vibrations caused by the struggling insect.Nerve endings in the slits end send signals to the spider's brain.
