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??? http://fireflyforest.net/firefly/2005/10/04/flower-spider/ http://bugguide.net/node/view/293415 http://bugguide.net/node/view/850275/bgimage These crab spiders are extremely variable, also depending of the flower they are sitting on. So I am not sure, just a shy hint...
