Here is a link with some information on Crab Spiders: http://bugguide.net/node/view/1957
Hi Keri and welcome to Project Noah. It looks like you have some type of Crab Spider here (Family Thomisidae). The photo is not very clear so I don't think I can give you much more than the scientific Family. Do you have any more photos of this spider, perhaps a different angle or that are a bit more clear? If you haven't done so already, I would recommend reading through the FAQ page: http://www.projectnoah.org/faq I look forward to seeing more spottings of yours!
