"This may be a
goldenrod flower crab spider, judging from the
outsize front legs. Flower crab spiders are crab
spiders of the genus Misumena with holarctic
distribution. The goldenrod crab spider is the
largest and most well-known of the
North American
flower spiders, commonly seen hunting in goldenrod
sprays in autumn. It can change its color between
white and yellow to match the flower it is sitting
on. The color change takes a few days."
Thanks to Jennie for the identification.
