Difficult to identify, but definitely a crab spider. It may be displaying color-changing camouflage and not pink all the time. Continuing to research.

Thanks! Only saw it by accident when following the butterfly with my camera……..then the butterfly suddenly stopped moving.

I think the butterfly is a cabbage White Butterfly. Pieris rapae. They are an introduced species in USA. This would have been male, if I have the species correct. The females have two black dots instead of one per side. I agree we Former Arachnophobe, the pink on the spider probably isn’t the spider’s default coloring. The green markings might be naturally green or dark tan.
