Wildlife Spotting

Thank you @apbookreader923, the spiny orb weavers were what I was refering to when talking about crab spiders. As you might see, the spider in my picture doesn't have those spines, also the general shape and the legs of the spider are also dissimilar from the spiny orb weaver. Seems to me the pattern and the shapes of the black spots also differ from the spiny orb weaver. I'll see if I've got another picture from a different angle....
