DaneRiva, nice find! This spider reminds me a lot of a Running Crab Spider, Genus Philodromus. http://bugguide.net/node/view/6823/bgpage I found one in Central Islip that looks a lot like yours: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/17305112 Species page for Philodromus praelustris (images mainly, not much info otherwise): http://bugguide.net/node/view/6826 See what you think.
