Crab spider.
Nice images of a crab spider (family Thomisidae), 'possibly' in the genus Xysticus.

Thank you very much Eric for
Thank you very much Eric for your help on this identification...

You are right! Others identified it also as a spider from the genus Xysticus!

It will then be Xysticus sp.

(One person think it can be X. triguttatus or elegans (both are found in Quebec)... Any comments?)

Thank you again :-)
