Not a spider. It’s a true bug (Hemiptera) specifically some type of assassin bug (Reduviidae). Not sure about the species. Looks like this one https://www.insectidentification.org/insect-description.asp?identification=Assassin-Bug
Agree, it is very much like picture 14 on the fuschia flower. I relocated it to the woods.
i saw a photo here on this site by Jack B. I think exactly As my photo called The ridge-backed Wheel Bug.
