Based on your description, the spider you are most likely referring to is the white-marked jumping spider (Dendryphantes varians). This species is commonly found in Pennsylvania and is known for the distinctive white heart-shaped marking on its back. White-marked jumping spiders are harmless and are beneficial for controlling pest insects in gardens.
The male green jumping spider has a dark red head and a bright green body. The scientific name for this spider is Mopsus Mormon.
