Misumenoides formosipes
(White-banded Crab Spider)

I haven’t seen one with markings this dark before. They match the black spots on the plant. Spotted Knapweed, I think. It’s an invasive species here in New Hampshire.

That’s interesting! They’re very pretty for crab spiders! We mostly have the bark and ground crab spiders which are brown. Plus that super ugly Tmarus angulatus I found.
