What type of Yellow Crab - Misumena vatia

What type of Yellow Crab - Misumena vatia
Lakewood, Oconto County, Wisconsin, USA
July 19, 2006
I found this crab spider today wrapping up a leaf. Unlike the other crab spiders I've taken pictures of this one was yellow. I checked the guide and looked at the yellow crab spider pics. I noticed that mine still had the red lines on the side, while the ones I saw at BG did not...Is this a different type...could someone let me know

We would say Misumena vatia
Colored stripes are pretty uniquely theirs and the eye pattern forming a triangle on the front of the face. No ridge through the eyes. No hairs on the body.
