Thomisus Sp. Family Thomisidae.
These spiders are Ambush Predators ,that feed on insects visiting flowers.The male is much much smaller in size as compared to the female, and is also of a different color.
Seen here in the pic is the mating ritual.... where in the male prior to mating climbs on the back of the female for a long period sometimes even days together....The female is non aggressive during this mating ritual.
