Hi, welcome to Spider ID. 🙂 Yes, this is a Crab Spider (Thomisidae) and it’s green. Looks like it might be a Northern Flower Spider, Tharrhalea evanida. The species was placed in a different genus in 2016, so the examples in the link list a different genus – Lehtinelagia, and prior to that it was placed in Diaea until 2014. There are other possibilities in the genus, I need to take a closer look when I have more time to rule them out.

I would say Misumessus oblongus
