Misumenoides formosipes
Whitebanded Crab Spider. Tiny Crab spider on a magenta flower. It was so small that all I could see was the black legs.
Flowering plant in arid place.

Thank you Cindy for the ID and the link. I think you are correct.
Nice on Luis! My first thought was a male Misumenoides formosipes but it's tough to see the markings on the face. Take a look at this toward the bottom: http://bugguide.net/node/view/6591
Thank you Gilma
