It is spinning a nice web near our banana trees and want to know if this is a dangerous spider or not. I have been bitten by a brown recluse and don't want another deadly spider around! Thanks!

Might be a Green Lynx Spider, Peucetia viridans...
the green lynx spider, Peucetia viridans (Hentz), is the spider most often received for identification by Division of Plant Industry entomologists. It is a conspicuous, large, bright green spider found on many kinds of shrublike plants throughout the southern United States and is the largest North American lynx spider. Although it is common throughout Florida and aggressively attacks its insect prey, it very seldom bites humans. While its bite is of little concern to humans, the green lynx spider is of interest because of its potential use in agricultural pest management.
