Unknown Spider 9161 - Misumenoides formosipes
Rattlesnake Springs in far southern New Mexico, New Mexico, USA
September 7, 2017
Had a great day at Rattlesnake Springs in far southern New Mexico yesterday (09/07/17) photo'ing a number of new invert species for me. Will take a few days to post process over 40 saved images but here is one.
I don't know the ID of the crab spider nor it's lunch.

Would appreciate help with the ID of either or both.
TIA

Take a look at...
Hedriodiscus binotatus while waiting on an expert. This should get you close at least.

That helps a lot. I think that is the correct ID.
