Plays dead. Walks up on tiptoes it appears. Seemed to be hiding in a light colored basket indoors. Shy

I think this is a crab spider, a species of Misumenoides or maybe Mecaphesa. Usually they’re not indoors, they prefer to hang out in flowers to ambush pollinators. Do you know if the basket was brought in from outside recently?
I was just coming in to say the same about it possibly being a type of crab spider.
