I actually was photographing a lantana bud whne I noticed a bit of movement, and realized this little guy was hiding there. He was so tiny I couldn't see him except through my macro lens.

Yes, Misumenops
Eric has said earlier on another image "The spider is a species of Misumenops, the only "flower spider" with a hairy body."

Fantastic
Fantastic photo. I know how small lantana flowerets are, so it is great that you were able to capture this much detail.
