Yes, this is Misumena vatia. The common name is Goldenrod Crab Spider. This is an ambush hunter rather than a web hunter. They hide by staying still in a place where insects are likely to go. She is on a pink flower with a light center because she is white with pink markings and yellow around her eyes. She or he can turn yellow with red markings if she finds a yellow flower or plant that she chooses to hunt on.
