Wow! I’d be very interested to find out what this super-fancy crab spider is. Family Philodromidae, the Running Crab Spiders?
I wonder if those hind legs are compatibile with the family Philodromidae; they look too short to me. My Guess is Thomisidae.
Thank you both, I’m looking into their information/pics now. I was able to get a better pic later on in the a.m.
Ah, you’re right. I wasn’t thinking about that. What do you think of Genus Mecaphesa? Check out this BugGuide.net page:

I think you got the right genus.
