It is a spider that ambushes it's prey. I have run into them from time to time in shades of yellow to bright orange. It is a little unnerving when you go to pick a nice flower and it suddenly moves.

This one was in some Marigolds we planted around the vegetable garden that were supposed to help keep the bugs out. Now we know how they do that, not with their own ability, but because of the 'friends' they transport. . . . .

The kids got a kick out of it and named it 'charlotte' just like all the spiders we find.
