Can anyone tell me what this little devil might be? Unfortunately, I don't have a Macro lens yet. I moved him from the Bee Balm plant onto a black shovel but not sure it helped to clarify the unique colour and marks. Also moved him back to the bee balm plant when I finished the pics.

Thanks

Hi, It looks very much like a Goldenrod Crab Spider - Misumena vatia
