Thank you so much bayucca. It kind of looks different than the Whitebanded Crab Spider, Misumenoides formosipes but I will check the ID. Thank you again, I don't often get Spiders spottings ID.
Definitely a crab spider, Thomisidae.
Misumenoides formosipes???

These crab spiders are extremely variable, also depending of the flower they are sitting on. So I am not sure, just a shy hint...
Thank you, ColtMooney.
