Hello
I hope your site is still active. I’m thinking this is a crab spider – not sure. I am located in Kelso, Wa. Can you tell me what it is? Thanks so much,
Betty Van Riper

Hi Betty
This is indeed a Crab Spider, Misumena vatia, also called a Flower Spider. Your specimen shows one of the most distinct color variations.
