What kind of Spider is this? - Misumena vatia
Vermilion AB, Canada (praries), Alberta, Canada
Found by my boyfriends mom in her house, and haven't yet been able to determine what kind of spider it is.. It's legs were almost as if they were transparent. Although it would put up it's front legs when it felt threatened by us, it didn't seem like an overly aggressive spider.

It looks like it might be Misumena, but it's hard to know without a picture of its eyes.
