Misumena vatia
White crab spider on a pink flower-cluster, it got red bands on the sides of its abdomen. Eyes are golden and the thorax got grey bands going on each side.
Newly harvested grassland, on one of few plants with pink flowers in the area. In the middle of an ancient leaf forest that could easily hold 400 years old trees judging by the size of the trunks.

Also pinpointed the exact location within meters of where I spotted this species. Don't know what to do since I think it's a relatively rare species of crab spiders, I'm no expert, but haven't seen this before and find very little information online.
