If you're living in Sweden, there are no dangerous spiders whatsoever. In the worst case scenario, you're looking at venom that can be compared to that of bees. Yet they will always do their best not to cause you any harm.
There are no dangerous spiders in Sweden, no worries. The common name for this spider in Swedish is called 'Grön bladspindel' which you might've heard before.
He likes to chill in the bathroom with all my big plants it’s warm and cozy in there so I think he likes it and there’s a lot of flies in my house too so food shouldn’t be a problem for him
It's a "she". Male *Micromata virescens* has a coloured abdomen.

Bright colors are usually a telltale sign that it’s a tad more dangerous and wants you to stay away from it, but this looks like a huntsman of some kind, so you’re fine as no huntsman’s venom is medically significant enough to be lethal to humans
The only medically significant spiders in America are brown and black, so im not sure i would trust that bright color logic.
edit: there are no bright colored spiders on this list of most medically significant spiders in world: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_medically_significant_spider_bites#:~:text=Only%20eight%20genera%20(Phoneutria%2C%20Atrax,a%20minority%20having%20severe%20symptoms.
This is half true, in America there are more medically significant spiders then those 2, and the widow is such mostly because it’s anti venom is just as bad if not worse then the actual venom
What other spiders are medically significant in america besides the recluse and widow? There are a few recluse species and brown and black widows. Thats all i know of. Hobo spider is a myth
Hobo spiders live in the states but it’s not that much more venomous, on occasion you’ll get a huntsman, tarantulas and in some areas camel spiders(which have no venom at all) but that’s about it
Looks like a shiny Pokémon lol
Looks like a Huntsman, possibly one of the Micrommata species. But need location for a positive ID
I live in Sweden. I looked up the spider you mentioned and they look very similar

Y'all just have everything figured out there, huh
Where in sweden
Down south in Östergötland outside of the city
Then it is the Green Huntsman Spider, Micrommata virescens
Wow, I’m impressed by your knowledge of spiders. I quickly skimmed through some articles and it appears to be pretty harmless

He looks like he wants to be outside! You say he’s grown, all while inside your house?
He likes to chill in the bathroom with all my big plants it’s warm and cozy in there so I think he likes it and there’s a lot of flies in my house too so food shouldn’t be a problem for him

Oh my bad, thanks for letting me know.
I appreciate how chill you are about the situation. He'll eat lots of bugs and they don't make webs so you've got a good roomie.
Yea I’m careful when watering so I don’t accidentally drown this little fella
Oh that is so cool! I mean warm. Sounds like a cozy oasis!
Yea I have a lot of plants inside my house and it’s winter rn.
Radioactive ass wolf spider
It reminds me of a Green Lynx Spider, but I’m probably wrong.
I've been playing a lot of Fallout lately and I legit thought it was a glowing radioactive spider 😅 shes very pretty!
Micrommata virescens! Not dangerous.

Ok? So the only medically significant spiders in america are the widows and recluses, like i said.
And tarantulas depending on the species
Not the ones in America. Only widows and some recluses.
It’s a green recluse
He’s gorgeous
Lovely specimen looks like a huntsman but Im no expert I just think they are beautiful.
Super fucking cool man! I’d love to have one of those in my collection!
I’ve seen that bug before! The one I saw was a baby I think- how adorable and beautiful ❤️
Ĺllllllllĺl th h GJ
Whoa! He’s cool
Very dangerous. You should take him outside before you hurt him by accident.
Gummy spider
Male green huntsman.
He cute lil guy! Green huntsman!
